Take a look at this warning from our friend Stephen Toub, over at MSDN Magazine:

http://blogs.msdn.com/toub/archive/2006/01/06/510099.aspx

Some nefarious characters are using the name “Microsoft Systems Journal” (the former name of MSDN Magazine) to scam people out of their hard-earned money.  Don’t fall for it!

As Stephen says, “MSJ is no longer being published. If you’re interested in subscribing to a top-notch publication and catching up on quality Microsoft development content, you should instead subscribe to MSDN Magazine.”

Thanks,

Josh

The January/February issue of TechNet Magazine is right around the corner, but if you just can’t wait and need a sneek peek, have a look here: TechNet Magazine - January/February 2006.  You’ll get a look at our upcoming lineup, as well two preview articles.  The first is an overview of you what you need to know as you prepare to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Set the Stage for a Smooth Upgrade) and the second is an in-depth look at the new tools available to help STOP THE SPAM (New Weapons in the Fight Against Spam).  I hope this will tide you over for the next week or two.  The rest of the issue will go live on January 3, 2006.

Have you just completed your migration to Active Directory?  Have you recently implemented Exchange Server?  Are you upgrading to SQL Server 2005 or deploying Windows XP to your users?

If so - I want to hear from you!

TechNet Magazine is looking for infrastructure project case studies.  These case studies should be focused on a recent implementation of Microsoft infrastructure technology, and should cover the project background, methods employed, lessons learned, etc.
