11.03.2008Microsoft exec: We're building bridges with Dynamic IT
Steve Guggenheimer, general manager of Microsoft's Application Platform and Development marketing division, talked about a range of technologies
under construction at the company during a keynote address on Monday, including Microsoft's Dynamic IT initiative and virtualization.
"We're trying to work on those bridges that cut across all of our different roles," Guggenheimer said at Microsoft's DevConnections
conference in Las Vegas, in a keynote address titled "Dynamic IT and the 2008 Launch Wave." The company has been touting the Dynamic IT initiative,
which encompasses everything from applications to infrastructure, since its Tech Ed conference earlier this year.
The company
only recently began getting specific about how it intends to execute its plans. Perhaps playing to skeptics, at one point during the keynote the
audience saw an offbeat promotional video for Visual Studio 2008, which is set for release this month.

06.11.2007Microsoft Virtualization Day: Helping IT professionals do more with less
Nick White: Today we're making a series of announcements outlining our company-wide strategy for virtualization from the desktop to the
datacenter.
<...> We have a vision that focuses on businesses employing our virtualization toolset to more simply and
cost-effectively manage their IT environments. We're calling that vision Dynamic IT. Dynamic IT is aiming to help IT professionals get more out of
their computing resources across both server and desktop environments. One of the benefits of this initiative is to enable IT managers to dynamically
make changes or add capacity to their deployments in a matter of minutes instead of hours (or even days). In a phrase, Dynamic IT is about
efficiently getting the necessary resources to users and computers at any given moment and with a minimum of hassle and effort. We expect this vision
to result in a whole new era of datacenter and desktop PC management, all hinging on virtualization technologies and Windows.
Central to the vision of Dynamic IT is the concept of the Optimized Desktop. The Optimized Desktop refers to virtualizing a user's applications
and profile together so that they follow that user, regardless of the location of the PC in use at the moment...

28.01.2009Intel Sheds Light on "Penryn" Enhancements
Intel plans to unleash its
Penryn family processors next
quarter, shortly after AMD
releases Barcelona. Penryn is
the umbrella for all 45nm Core
2 micro architecture products,
including quad-core Xeon
Harpertown, quad-core Core 2
Yorkfield and dual-core Xeon,
Core 2 Wolfdale processors.
On the
surface, Penryn looks like die
shrink of last years Conroe
micro architecture, but Intel
sought additional tweaks to
the micro architecture to
achieve greater performance at
the same clock speeds as
Conroe processors.
Intel improves
existing Wide Dynamic
Execution, Advanced Smart
Cache, Advanced Digital Media
Boost and Intelligent Power
Capability, technologies that
previously made its debut with
Conroe and Merom.
Penryn enhances Wide
Dynamic Execution technology
with a fast radix-16 divider
and improved Virtualization
technology. With a fast
radix-16 divider, the
processor can process 4-bits
per cycle instead of the
2-bits per cycle of Conroe
doubling the divide
instruction capabilities.
Intel VT technology receives
enhancements that reduce
virtual machine transition
latencies by 25-to-75%. ..

17.03.2007Microsoft confirms next XP
service pack
Microsoft has revealed
plans to release a third
service pack for its Windows
XP operating
system.
"
There will be a Service Pack 3
for Windows XP," Bernard
Ourghanlian, technical and
security director at Microsoft
France, confirmed, revealing
that Microsoft's OS is set
for another major
update.
Windows
XP's Service Pack 2, which
came out last September,
deeply modified the operating
system by updating its
security.
Windows
XP SP3 will be available
sometime next year--after the
launch of Windows Vista, which
"is the priority for the
development teams," according
to Microsoft
France.
Microsoft
has yet to reveal details
about the contents of the
service pack. Laurent
Delaporte of Microsoft France
said: "Historically, certain
functions of new versions of
Windows are integrated in the
service packs of previous
versions." ..

30.09.2005Ramping up for Windows Live Events (and maybe Groups too?)
Remember the Wave 2 launch dates given last month by Microsoft France? It seems that Windows Live Events could be just around the corner after a link
to the service was spotted in a
Live Search cached page. What makes this all the more interesting is the cached version of Spaces was running on build 1347, the
current build running on spaces.live.com is only 1345.
Our friends over at Wagged have also been a little jumpy recently,
conducting searches for Windows Live Events to see what information is already out. It seems like they are definitely ramping up for something over in
Redmond.
And while we're on the topic of Spaces, there's also been some chatter on an MSN Groups upgrade to Windows Live
Groups. The
Wikipedia entry on it is well worth reading, thanks
again to Live Search doing a great job in caching the
non-public facing Groups
homepage. Rock on the Live Search team.

10.10.2007Quick and Dirty Quad-Core "Penryn" Benchmarks
Benchmarks of Intels Penryn based dual-core Wolfdale have appeared a couple times in the past month. The early benchmarks tested engineering sample
processors and showed Wolfdale, on average, performing 5 percent faster, clock for clock then Conroe. However, benchmarks of the quad-core Yorkfield
are virtually non-existent to the public.
Intels Yorkfield is not a native quad-core design. As with Kentsfield, Yorkfield
features two dual-core dice fused together. The design results in each pair of cores having access to its own pool of shared L2 cache. Since Penryn
has more cache, each pair of cores has access to 6MB of L2 for a total of 12MB up from the 4MB per pair and 8MB total of Kentsfield.
In addition to the increased cache size, Penryn features faster 24-way associative L2 cache, which cuts off a few clock cycles. Kentsfield
has an 18-way associative L2 cache.

65-nanometer silicon-on-insulator technology, the CPU will be identical to its non-Black Edition counterpart (integrated DDR2 memory controller and so
on) except for the unlocked clock multiplier, which allows enthusiasts to easily clock the new chip. AMD notes the processor is priced the same as the
