Hi All!

This short update is really exciting, as...

1) 'WIN NT POWER TOOLKIT' HAS HIT AMAZON.COM TOP 5 (!)

Honestly, I'm thrilled. I called the publisher at New Riders
and they had _never_ had a book climb this high the first
day. It's a Smash Hit! Thanks everyone for buying. You will
not be disappointed. Amazon keeps an hourly 'stat' of their
Hot 100 books and at this point it's #5: Whoopee!! Here is 
the URL, but when you look it might be higher or lower.

There is still stock, so if you have not decided to purchase 
yet: now is your chance! Wouldn't it be great to hit the
Number 1 Spot? It's in your hands. If you have never bought 
a book from Amazon, take the plunge and buy something online! 

Have no credit card? Ask a friend to buy it for you. And of 
course the Sunbelt online shop is ready for you if you are 
in the USA: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/stubook.htm 
(We had some tech problems this morning due to the enormous
inflow, but everything is in working order now)

If you want to get a great deal and 'give' some 'exchange'
for the free NTools E-News you get, buy the book. GET YOUR 
COPY NOW. GIVE YOURSELF AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

2) NEW DISKEEPER VERSION 5 NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

All of you that run the Target Award Winner Diskeeper, and 
there are a LOT of you, will be happy to know that the new 
version 5 is now also available for eval download. Diskeeper 
V5 has some very exciting new technology included. It is able 
to PREVENT fragmentation of the Master File Table. 

First during the boot-process it defrags the MFT, and from there 
on it prevents further fragmentation. Read more about the technical 
background at the newly updated page, and get your 30-day eval:

3) NT 4 SERVICE PACK 6 BETA IS IN TECHNET CD'S

Yes! It's been confirmed today by more than 10 subscribers
of the NTSYSADMIN list. It's in the 'Technet Plus' CD's that
were sent last week. It's not available yet on the MS website,
what is on the CD is a Beta. The first reports are positive
but as always, be very careful and check thoroughly on a non-
critical test machine first. I will let you know the day it
arrives on the MS website, and what is in it.

That's all for now, talk soon! 

(oh yeah? buy the book?) if you are outside the USA, here is 
the URL straight to the book on Amazon: 
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/073570922X/o/qid=939779046/sr=8-1/002-1020531-1577832

It would be SUCH a win to see that puppy at the Number One Spot!

OK, OK, I'm perhaps too enthusiastic, but I guess you guys
understand that it's a great reward for a year of hard work 
. And it will save you TONS of time when you run into
problems. 

Warm regards,

Stu Sjouwerman
