Microsoft Server 2008 comic strip - Server Versus Client
Okay, so we know that updates to Barely Out Of Beta have been slow of late, but that's because we've been working on a Top Secret Project! And now, in a moment that will surely rank with the Valerie Plame scandal, we're pulling the wraps off it for public consumption:
And we can guarantee that this will be updated weekly. It has to, or Microsoft has promised to visit unlimited angst upon us! (I think they were going to force us to upgrade from XP to Vista... kidding, guys, I'm kidding!)
Anyway, Server Versus Client combines Steve's gorgeous artwork with James and my bowling-ball-sharp wit, so I hope you get a chuckle or two from it. From our end, we've been very impressed with Microsoft Oz's willingness to take the piss; if they keep this attitude up, maybe some of their northern fellow workers may consider becoming Australians!*
To see the comics in their natural environment, head over to the official Australian Server 2008 site.
* We leave as an exercise for the reader to decide whether it's a compliment or an insult.
Edit: Gah! Okay, so maybe no Valerie Plame moment: I've been to slow typing and Deeps De Silva and Scott Barnes have beaten me to the punch. Oh, the shame...

Is it too much to ask for a RSS feed or proper web site for the new strip ?
At the moment, the only place to see the comic is on the Oz Server 08 site:
http://www.microsoft.com/australia/servers/WS2008/
They've got an rss feed, but it seems to be for the site in general. We can't really set up a site for the comic only: that'd be stealing their thunder a bit!
So either grab our feed and we'll blog each time a new comic goes up, or else have a gander at Deeps' Microsoft blog:

Hope that helps!
