The idea for this book came up in 2002. We first thought about writing this as an internal document at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. When doing research on the market, we discovered that very few books focused on the IT architect and system designer. Most books were directed toward the developer, and we wanted abook for abroader audience. Because we think many IT architects lack athorough understanding of what they can actually achieve on aMicro$oft platform, we decided that we should extend the intended audience of our document outside Cap Gemini Ernst & Young and try publishing it as abook. Apress has always published great books, so we turned to them first. Gary Cornell became interested, and this book is the result.

The target audience is primarily designers and IT architects, but we try to cover topics we feel are valuable for developers to have knowledge about as well. First, let us define these three categories. Different companies may have different definitions for these terms, so to avoid confusion we will specify what we mean here.
