pointing out vulnerability
reports), and obviously others on my team do the same (

Edition has been removed for Windows 7. Now the only effective limit on the number of programs you can run concurrently is set by the amount of your
memory. Windows 7 Starter Edition will have other limits, however, in order to differentiate it from other versions of the OS. "Windows 7 Starter

04.01.2006Comparing running processes in Windows Server 2008 in Full and Core installs
Windows Server 2008 Server
Core installation is a minimal
install of the upcoming
Windows Server OS that can run
specific roles (like DNS,
Active Directory or File
Server) with a much smaller
footprint and attack surface.
In a previous blog post I
looked into overall image
sizes for both and also
discussed some of the details
about the differences between
these Full and the Core
installs. I later discussed
which files are on disk for
each one. Now I am looking at
the processes running in the
the two types of install.
This time I
actually installed a couple of
things on the servers before
looking at them. First of all,
I loaded the Virtual PC
virtual machine extensions.
Second, I loaded the DNS
Server roles (which is
available for both). I did not
furter configure the servers,
but used the systeminfo.exe
and tasklist.exe (which also
exists in both install) to
compare the differences in
loaded process, physical
memory and pagefile memory
used.
My
goal here is not to have very
precise lists, but to get a
feeling for how the two
installs compare. Also note
that Windows Server 2008 is in
pre-release format today
(there is a public Beta 3 and
an
MSDN-and-TechNet-subscribers-o
nly release called June CTP or
IDS3). Keep in mind that this
will most likely change before
final release. The information
here is based on an Enterprise
edition, June CTP install.

18.08.2007Microsoft may adjust limitations on Windows 7 Starter
According to Paul Thurrott, Microsoft will be lifting the three running application limit for Windows 7 Starter Edition. Previously with XP and
Vista, Starter Edition was designed to run on low end equipment and be sold in what Microsoft called "developing markets." But for Windows 7,
Microsoft moved Starter Edition into the rest of the world and decided to sell Home Basic in the developing markets instead. Starter Edition is
expected to be sold on netbook class systems, so even if there isn't a software coded limit to how many applications you can run at one time, the
limited amount of processor and memory resources in the computer will continue to be the deciding factor.

25.01.2007Gaming Performance: Windows Vista SP1 vs. XP SP3
Even as Microsoft tries to shove Windows Vista down the collective and unwilling throat of computer users worldwide, the company is still perfecting
the well-aged and well-loved Windows XP. The latter of the two operating systems just received its third (and evidently last) service pack.
<...> Of course, with the release of a new service pack comes a huge, pressing question: How does it compare to Windows Vista and its own
recent update, Service Pack 1, in the game performance department? Vista, of course, has been plagued by criticism that games run on it don't perform
as well as they do in Windows XP, even though most of the problems were due to early graphics drivers and have gradually been worked out.
Come with us as we install XP SP3 and take it for a test drive, and more importantly compare it to Vista SP1 with a batch of performance
tests. Though DirectX 10 is Vista-only, many a gamer has sworn not to upgrade; will XP SP3 cement their decision, or has Vista and its drivers matured
enough to change a few minds?
