WSUS Helps a WS08 Brutha Out

I've been waiting to see if this would happen. Like most of my petty wishlist idealisms, I figured it was too trivial to be considered.

WSUS 3 role on Windows Server 2008 = MIA

During the Longhorn beta, when it reached the RC stages, the beta team contacted a bunch of us beta testers and asked us to test out the inclusion of the added "Windows Server Update Services" role on Windows Server 2008 ( WS08 ).
