You are probably always clicking on the DVD/ISO or Web Setup links that follow the "Note: this SDK has been replaced by the Windows Server 2008 SDK" entry. Those do indeed go to the newer SDK. The actual download links are at the very bottom of the original page: ISO image download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E15438AC-60BE-41BD-AA14-7F1E0F19CA0D&displaylang=en Web setup: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0BAF2B35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en Full download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=484269E2-3B89-47E3-8EB7-1F2BE6D7123A&displaylang=en#filelist Cheers, -Jan
