8.2.2007 Office 12 to Feature 'Super Tooltips'
Tooltips, those little yellow popup boxes that provide information on a button or menu option, have become an indispensable part of the modern user interface. Now, Microsoft is looking to extend their usefulness by introducing what it calls "Super Tooltips" in the upcoming release of Office 12.
The next-generation Office suite from Microsoft is already slated to bring a major UI makeover. Standard toolbars have been replaced with task-oriented "Ribbons" that include features pertinent to the current job. But such a change will require a learning curve, which is where the new larger tooltips come in.

15.10.2009 Windows Vista Beta 1 vs. Mac OS X "Tiger
From Paul Thurrotte's SuperSite:
In part one of my comparison of Windows Vista Beta 1 and Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger," I looked at three key aspects of each system: Look and feel, desktop search, and data visualization and organization. For the most part, OS X came out well ahead of Windows Vista, as you'd expect, since it's a polished finished product. Vista, meanwhile, is all knees and elbows, an awkward teenager on its way to maturity.
. Microsoft will iron out the details, I'm sure, but the end result will likely not change much. Specifically, OS X will always be elegant, and Windows will almost certainly lag behind in the fit and finish department. The only questions are how much Vista will improve when compared to previous Windows versions, and whether it will be enough to keep customers from moving to OS X.

Vijayshinva Karnure: Windows Server 2008 is the best OS to be released till date from Microsoft's stable. And the moment I got hold of the RTM build
I could not resist installing it on my workstation. I always prefer running a Server OS on my workstation... I have been running Windows 2003

12.02.2008Windows "Workstation" 2008 Clobbers Vista in Benchmark Testing
Randall Kennedy: Just when you think you've got it all figured out, along comes another curve ball to keep you guessing. This time around it's a set
of
new benchmark test results from our old
friends at the exo.performance.network. Apparently, these guys heard about the brouhaha surrounding some
Microsoft's
engineer's blog post about using Server 2008 as a "Super Workstation OS" and decided to put the concept to the test. They loaded each
OS onto identical hardware, tweaking the Server implementation to make it look and act like Vista. Then they tested them under a variety of
productivity and multitasking scenarios.
The net result: Windows "Workstation" 2008 (i.e the tweaked Server 2008
installation) trashed Windows Vista with Service Pack 1, outscoring its desktop sibling by as much as 17%.
You can read all the
gory details over at the
exo.blog site. Suffice to say that there's a new option for
power users who are fed-up with Vista's sluggishness: Windows Server 2008, or as I'm now calling it, "Windows NT 6.1 Workstation."

completely changed the way it developed Windows. Thanks to the componentization of the underlying OS, it was no longer necessary to "fork" the
Windows build tree so that different parts of the product team could develop their own parts of the OS in isolation.

aligning Windows Server 2008 R2, which briefly was referred to as Windows Server 7, and the client OS Windows 7 although Microsoft officials have not
said if they will ship together. But users who adopt both will get new security, network, and other features although some of those will require
network upgrades like implementing IPv6. The R2 beta's integration with Windows 7 is high on the server's feature list.

09.01.2009Windows Server 2008 is 20% faster than Vista
It seems Microsoft may have a successor (or replacement) for Vista after all and it’s already been released. Windows Server 2008 isn’t
easy to configure as a desktop operating system but when done correctly can be 20% faster than Vista while retaining most of the same features.
Windows Workstation 2008 is not a product sold by Microsoft and must be configured from a copy of Windows Server 2008. It seems this version
of Windows lacks the “bloat” that is part of Vista. However, I am not sure what the author is referring to (but is likely talking about
unnecessary services). Of course this version of Windows was designed with developers in mind who covet speed above all else. Workstation 2008
includes IIS and Hyper-V for creating virtual machines.
A
Microsoft
employee and
third party website have created tutorials on how to
use Windows Server 2008 as a desktop operating system. This is what I’ve been referring to as Windows Workstation 2008. Keep in mind that this
will have the same driver problems as Vista does, meaning, if a Vista driver doesn’t exist for a piece of hardware you still won’t be able
to use it with Server or Workstation 2008.

One of the new and improved features of the soon to be released Windows Server 2008 is that we now have the ability to perform enhanced multicasting
when deploying OS images right out of the box.
The new Windows Deployment Services (WDS) will now support an enhanced multicast
feature which will allow you to multicast out your Windows OS's from Windows Server 2008. This is not 'new' news as I believe we have documented
that this will be a feature for quite some time, but one that I feel is overlooked given all of the other many features of the new product.

04.01.2009Experimental Super 3G network could reach 300Mbps
Japan-based NTT DoCoMo
announced today that it plans
to begin testing on an
experimental "Super 3G"
system for extra-high-speed
data on mobile devices.
The country's largest
mobile carrier said that it
hopes to achieve an impressive
300Mbps down in its tests over
the wireless network. The
company has already begun
accepting proposals from
suppliers and hopes to
implement the Super 3G system
in Japan by 2009.
The
company said that it planned
to start experimenting with
Super 3G in an indoor setting
with only one transmitting
antenna and one receiving
antenna. From there, NTT
DoCoMo plans to expand the
experiment by using four
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
(MIMO) antennas on both the
transmitting and receiving
side. The ultimate goal will
be not only to achieve 300Mbps
down but also to look at how
well handovers will be handled
between towers.
