I tried to follow the link for the Vista Resource Kit 2 Edition. It lead me to a link for the Visual Studio 2008 book instead.
just thought you might want to know.
I had purchased the 1st edition. It was a tome that was unmatched at the time. It did make it easy since it was paper back edition of well over a 1000 pages. I look forward to comparing this if the link for it ever comes back up.

To Ronald: Hmmm.. I just tried it and it turned out to be the Vista Resource Kit 2nd Edition for me. So I don t know what happened when you downloaded it - can you try again and let me know if it still happenes?
Does anyone else have that problem?

Vista Resource Kit has a problem due to its size.
I detailed a way to get it downloaded here :)
