Engineering Windows 7 : Disk Space
Windows disk space consumption has trended larger over time. While not desirable, the degree to which it's been allowed is due in large part to
ever-increasing hard drive capacity, combined with a customer need and engineering focus that focused heavily on recover ability, data protection,
increasing breadth of device support, and demand for innovative new features. However, the proliferation of Solid State Drives (SSDs) has challenged
this trend, and is pushing Windows 7 to consider disk "footprint" in a much more thoughtful way and take that into account for Windows 7.

Microsoft Vista Undelete
Sparks More Facts
The Inquirer's recent
examination of the
'undelete' technology in
Windows Vista has become more
important since Apple formally
announced 'Time Machine' in
Leopard, the next iteration of
OSX.
Unfortunately Apple's Time
Machine requires a separate
disk, dedicated to the
backing-up of data on your
primary drive. Useful in the
case of a hard-disk failure,
but not exactly the cheapest
option. It also seems to have
an esoteric GUI, which may or
may not work well in real-word
usage.
Windows
Vista's alternative backup
application is very similar,
albeit without the
over-the-top interface, and
also comes with a Shadow Copy
feature that's integrated
into the normal file/folder
menus, and has some
interesting attributes of its
own.

Comparing Browsers' Memory Usage
The resource usage of browsers is an important aspect in modern-day computing, because the browser is taking on an ever more important role in
day-to-day computing tasks. Hence, it may come as no surprise that many complaints regarding browsers are not about rendering speed or rendering
quality, but about resource usage. Dot Net Perls ran an interesting benchmark on
Windows Vista SP1, comparing 5 browsers to each other.

Internet Explorer is now an optional feature in Windows 7
Along with various other changes that are to be reflected in Windows 7 RC, here is a big change that is not in the list. From Windows 7 build 7048,
Internet Explorer(IE) is an optional Windows feature and can be installed/uninstalled from Windows 7. This will be a welcoming (and surprising) news,
especially to European Union and Opera who have accused Microsoft for not giving consumers a genuine choice of Web browsers. If IE is upgraded to
version 8 in Vista (from version 7), users do get an option to uninstall IE 8, but not IE 7. IE 7 remains as integral component of Windows Vista which
cannot be removed.

Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory
Mark Russinovich: This is the first blog post in a series I'll write over the coming months called Pushing the Limits of Windows that describes how
Windows and applications use a particular resource, the licensing and implementation-derived limits of the resource, how to measure the resources
usage, and how to diagnose leaks.
To be able to manage your Windows systems effectively you need to understand how Windows
manages physical resources, such as CPUs and memory, as well as logical resources, such as virtual memory, handles, and window manager objects.
Knowing the limits of those resources and how to track their usage enables you to attribute resource usage to the applications that consume them,
effectively size a system for a particular workload, and identify applications that leak resources.

Engineering Windows 7: Disk Space
Steven Sinofsky: This post is about disk space and the disk space consumed by Windows 7. Disk space is the sort of thing where everyone wants to use
less, but the cost of using a bit more relative to the benefits has generally been a posiitve tradeoff. Things have changed recently with the
availability of solid-state drives in capacities significantly smaller than the trend in spinning drives. Traditionally most all software, including
Windows, would not hesitate to consume a 100MB on a specific (justified) need when looking at a 60GB (or 1,500GB ) drive; with desirable machines
shipping with 16GB of solid-state storage, we are looking carefully at the disk space used by Windowsboth at setup time and also as a PC ages. We
also had a specific session at WinHEC on solid-state
drives that might be interesting to folks. This post is authored by Michael Beck, a program manager in the core OS deployment feature team.
