I've found another bump with 2008 server R2. Before the upgrade I had VMware workstation installed and I had number of virtual machines set up to run as a virtual domain. After the upgrade, my vms still started up and appeared to work but I could no longer communicate with them from the host PC (ping, etc).

I finally ended up uninstalling vmware then reinstalling it then re-adding the host adapter (virtual network adapter). Now all seems to be fine.

It looks like Nero 9 supports 2008 server R2 and Windows 7. My intention is to upgrade, I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm still having problems with my HP 8250 scanner. I found a message board posting suggesting that I right-click on the install and say "troubleshoot compatability". I did this and the driver appeared to install but still doesn't work. It may be that I did something wrong (I chose 64-bit 2008 R1 as the compatability O/S) and I'll fiddle with it a bit more.

It's really disappointing for me how little HP has to say about Windows 7 and their scanners.
