Installing Office SharePoint 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh

Like a few other people, I experienced a problem installing the Beta 2 Technical Refresh for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Everything went by the book until the “SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard” got to the final step, when it failed with an error “could not find stored procedure ‘dbo.proc_MSS_cleanup’”.

Which phone?

Mark mentioned to me today that I’m going to get a new mobile phone! Two possibilities are:

• HP iPAQ rw6828 (apparently similar to 02 XDA Atom)
• HP iPAQ hw6515

I’d be interested in any suggestions on those or others that I should consider (around the same price range)
