I repeatedly forget to mention these in my talks - and that's bad because these documents are excellent.  For each topic you get a ppt and doc. Here's the approach behind each document:

This guide is one in a series of planning and design guides that clarify and streamline the planning and design process for Microsoft® infrastructure technologies.

Each guide in the series addresses a unique infrastructure technology or scenario. These guides include the following topics:

· Defining the technical decision flow (flow chart) through the planning process.

· Describing the decisions to be made and the commonly available options to consider in making the decisions.

· Relating the decisions and options to the business in terms of cost, complexity, and other characteristics.

· Framing the decision in terms of additional questions to the business to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the appropriate business landscape.

The guides in this series are intended to complement and augment the product documentation.
