08/18/2008 We noted the following
Performance Tuning for the Office 2007 System (White Paper) is in both the Deployment and Operations Section. This duplication may be intentional, however deploying an installation that is performance tuned would seem to be the best practice, as such this implies the location should be in the Deployment section only.
Group Policy Overview for the 2007 Office Release, is in both the deployment and Security section, but the first is dated June 2007 and the secon January 2008, shouldn't the newer one be in both sections?
