The new HPCS Tech Brief's site is specifically designed to be a quick resource for HP Sales and Consulting Professionals to get the latest information on the various Microsoft software products that HP sells, service and supports. With the advent of the new .NET Microsoft Topology, and the plethora of Microsoft products already on the market, the HPCS Tech Brief's site will attempt to track and update you on the latest development as they relate to HP and Microsoft.

As with all new sites, there isn't as much material initially as there will be over time, but by the nature of the topicality of the site, what's on the site will be fresh. At launch we envision the site having several different meaningful sections:

Hot News - this will be a small but rapid update set of pages that will focus on breaking news whenever possible. It will be broad in coverage but not deep. Where possible, links to originating sources will be provided, so that users can grab more detail quickly if they desire.  

Microsoft launches Commerce Server 2002   Microsoft debuted the latest version of its Commerce Server software at TechEd in New Orleans Tuesday, promising improved .Net development capabilities. Get the full story..

Server Information - Concentrating on W2K Server, Advanced Server, .NET Servers, new 64 bit O/S/s and information on near production (advanced Beta) products. Content will be sourced from the industry in general, and not be Microsoft-centric. The object is to provide balanced and realistic information to better help in competitive situations.

Background Data - An attempt to fill in the blanks as to where and how current products evolved, and where they may be going. A lot of mystery is removed once you understand that XP is the offspring of Windows NT for the home. Once again we will try to provide links to content rich sites where additional background information may be gathered
