Re: books recommendations

Jonathan,

Yes, please. I'd like the patch as well as the upgrade subscription path so I can paste '10' on as well. I'd also like installer insurance in case the patch hasn't been fully QA'd and breaks two things while fixing one.

Seriously, I recommend the book because it explains a lot of features better than anyone else and has an excellent format for quick refreshers on some of the new features as well as in-depth material. Everyone on the list who doesn't already have Jonathan's book (you know who you are!), buy it now!

I look forward to meeting you next week in Austin.

Regards,
Chris Gait
