If you’ve been around Microsoft technologies long enough, likely you have heard the name Greg Shields. I was talking with Greg this week because he will be speaking at VMworld 2009 and he pointed out that he has, on the Internet a long list of free e-books. These e-books cover things like:

  • Network Security
  • Active Directory
  • Virtualization
  • Application Performance
  • Windows 2008 Infrastructure

Who doesn’t love to get something free, right?
