25.07.2007Microsoft Launching a Windows
Vista TFT Monitor
Widescreen 22in
display to make best use of
the operating system's
graphics.
Microsoft is
launching a computer monitor
that it claims will best show
the new functions and features
in its Vista operating
system.
The
software giant is working with
Samsung to build a
high-resolution, 22in
widescreen Vista Monitor,
which is due for release
around the same time as the
operating system.
Vista has been designed to
look best when using a
widescreen display, and
Microsoft wants to ensure that
as far as possible users take
advantage of this. By
producing a Microsoft-badged
monitor, it can promote
widescreen Vista use to those
who upgrade from Windows XP or
buy a new PC running the
operating system.
Samsung confirmed it
is working with Microsoft to
build the monitors. Ami
Randhawa, monitor product
manager at Samsung, said: ?The
demand is being driven by
Vista. It will be branded
Microsoft, but built by
Samsung.?
Microsoft was contacted, but
said: ?Microsoft does not
comment on rumour and
speculation.?

14.08.2008IIS: Troubleshooting High CPU performance issues - Part 1
One of the types of performance problems that can occur with IIS web applications is when the process hosting the web application (in IIS6 in Worker
Process Isolation Mode it is w3wp.exe) spins up the CPU utilization of the server. Usually this is associated with end users experiencing a long
period of waiting for the web content to be displayed in their web browsers. This scenario is generally referred to as a "high CPU hang".
Troubleshooting high CPU hang problems can be done with two tools: Performance Monitor, and a debugger. We use Performance Monitor to get
a 'perfmon' log of the high cpu behavior, and we use the debugger to get a hang dump of the process that is spiking the cpu. Then we analyze the
info in the perfmon log and associate it with the info in the debug dump file. Debugging user-mode dumps is a whole topic in and of itself which I
won't cover in depth here. Instead the emphasis here is on getting the right data at the right time to actually analyse. In Part 2 of this topic
I'll go through a sample analysis of a high CPU scenario.

19.12.2006Are Vista icons facing the wrong way ?
No doubt you’ve all seen the “Computer” icon in Windows Vista. Some of you might have even clicked on it and few of you probably
have a shortcut on your desktop. But has it ever occurred to you it’s facing the wrong direction, away from you? At least one guy did, and this
is just one of the minor details under scrutiny at the Windows UX Taskforce that is particularly fascinating.
The problem is, by default,
Windows displays icons from left to right. Assuming the user sits in the middle of the monitor, the icons should in fact face right towards you and
not the edge of the monitor. The only icon in Vista off the top of my head which does this correctly are the “folders” icon which open up
towards the right. This actually conflicts with the official user experience guidelines suggesting the perspective of icons face left.
If
this isn’t weird enough, the Windows XP’s icons and even conceptual Vista icons designed by Iconfactory faced the right (pun) way. For
some unknown reason, Microsoft designers decided to flip them. Mac OSX icons face directly at you - probably the best solution.

15.11.2007London to have satellites that monitor your speed
In a trial that can only be described as Big Brotherly, London is going is going to start trials of attempting to stop speeders from space. The
basic idea works around that the vehicles are equipped with information about speed limits for public roads. A satellite will monitor the speed of
the car vs. the pre-installed data to determine if the car is speeding. If the car is found to be speeding then one of two things can happen. The car
can either be slowed down by the satellite (voluntary mode) or the car can alert you that you need to slow down but won't actually adjust the
vehicles speed (advisory mode).
