Hi Scott,

As for MSXML6.0, it is fully supported on windows server 2008(out of the 
box). I've also got a quick confirm on this from some dev team engineers. 
As for the download page and some other xml team blog entries, I think it 
is due those pages being published very earlier before server 2008 release 
so the "supported system" hasn't included server 2008.

I have also performed a quick test on my fresh 2008 server box(default 
install) and MSXML6 works correctly.

==========================
try
{

var xmlDOM6 = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0'); //uses MSXML 6.0
xmlDOM6.async = false;
xmlDOM6.load("data.xml");

WScript.Echo( xmlDOM6.xml);

}
catch(ex)
{
	WScript.Echo("ex: " + ex);
}

===============================

Also, MSXML6 is the latest XML process component for native/COM client, and 
it provide many improvements and become compatible with .NET 2.0 system.xml 
implementation. So for your new application which will target the latest 
windows systems, it is really recommended that you use MSXML6.
