For the OS don't use excuses, Microsoft always did the same with ISA and lately with a lot of other products just to force you to migrate to 64 bits or 2008. And the instances, I have 14 (well there are 2 others not really in use) ISAs servers in total, believe me I would find out a way to continue protecting the network or providing proxy service while migrating other boxes. It is just a pain in .... to always do the same thing, that is why I promised last time to don't migrate to the next ISA version, the pain that was move from 2004 to 2006 was not worth the advantages on the new version. Believe me I'm closer to look for other products rather than upgrading, that is why I would like to read about the advantages. Regards Diego R.

Seriously; some in-place changes just aren't possible. ________________________________ From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of D PIETRUSZKA USWRN INTERLINK INFRA SHIFT MGR [DPietruszka@xxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 9:41 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: TMG Unsupported Is there any link with a description of the advantages or new features of TMG over ISA2006?
