Deborah Workman Dec 23, 2007: Can you provide some information about what comes before and after and what kind of a document you are working on?
DarekS (asker) Dec 22, 2007: Does it mean that upgrades should be done simultaneously for OCS 2007 and Ex2007? Does wins here simply mean Windows, and if what it has to do with upgrades?

"wins" is often used in place of "Windows" - however, not in formal documentation...
