all,

i've been in munich (systems fair) yesterday and had a look at whats up pro.

the main benefit is a really new web interface. as it seems, there is need to use the 
local console at all.

- it is possible to do almost all tasks right from your browser (such as notification 
and service polling configuration)
- the polling engine will not be blocked any more if you are editing a map 
- it is easier to attach notifications to many devices, there are better notification 
policies (such as: inform me only if _BOTH_ clusternodes are crashing at midnight)
- you will be able to create more than one icon from one device (but it will be polled 
only once)
- dependencies will work over diferent maps
- snmp traps can be forwarded to other systems
- "real" MSSQL database support (MSDE is supported as well)

but, (my main disappointment) wup will run as a _single_ user. no multiple domain 
logon will be supported for service and windows event log polling. but i should email 
the programmers and it will be logged as feature request (*knock, knock*)

disclaimer: list is not complete, this is just what was interesting for me...

and Jacob: WuP will be an upgrade for WuG, since the small business version seems 
already very similar to WuP. but no sorrows: the squeeky user interface of small 
business is not used in WuP :)

Quick question...

Is Whats Up Pro an upgrade for Whats Up Gold or Whats Up Small Business?
