The subject says it all. Where can I find the equivalent of the old resource kits or the support
tools for XP for Vista?
 
Hi, Stewart.

In addition to the references Carey mentioned, there is now also:

Windows Vista Resource Kit, Second Edition by Mitch Tulloch, Tony Northrup
and Jerry Honeycutt
Microsoft Press © 2008 (1696 pages)
ISBN: 9780735625969

I don't have an online reference but it shouldn't be hard to find, either
online or in a good book store.

I've always found the RKs very valuable. As a
one-man-one-computer-no-net-but-the-Internet kind of guy, about half the
book is useless to me, but the other half is worth the full price!

I am confused. All of the prior software resource kits were available for free. The first
reference below is for a book with a cd. I have an MSDN Visual Studio Professional subscription and
I now have to pay for software tools to support Vista? I assume that means that all of these tools
were developed by third parties and that Microsoft has no internally developed software tools for
supporting Vista.

The other two links do not appear to have any software associated with them.
 
As I mentioned in my note to Carey does this mean that Microsoft has no software tools of its own to
support Vista?
