Feature Comparison: XP SP3 Professional vs. Vista SP1
Call it a sign of desperation, a new attempt to blow some wind in the sails of its latest platform, or a reaction to the proverbial last drop, but Microsoft is delivering its own perspective in terms of the comparison between its two Windows clients sharing the vast majority of the operating system market. Just ahead of the availability cut-off date for Windows XP through the OEM and retail channels, the Redmond company has “come out gunning” in a move designed to settle once and for good the XP vs. Vista face-off.

Previous to writing this comparison, I have only ever used Ubuntu and Fedora. Considering Ubuntu's popularity and reputation for being easy to

be proven wrong. View: Part 1 of "Linux Comparison" - Ubuntu An install for all. The installation was quick and painless. The installer correctly
detected the existing Linux partitions, and also proposed that I did not format my home partition (for the uninitiated, this is more or less the "My

26.08.2008Microsoft Kills Windows Validation and Office Validation Anti-Piracy Efforts
Microsoft's anti-piracy
efforts will undertake a major
overhauling. The Redmond
company plans to take down
both the Windows Validation
Assistant and the Office
Validation Assistant.
However, Microsoft is
going to fill in the empty
spaces left by the
discontinuing of WVA and OVA
with Windows Comparison Guide
(WCG) and the Office
Comparison Guide (OCG).
Additionally there is also the
old trust Windows Genuine
Advantage and Office Genuine
Advantage that will survive
the anti-piracy cancelled
services. Still, this is not
the end of the upgrades in
stored for the Microsoft
anti-piracy programs. Feature
updates and additions are also
planned to be introduced.
"We're finally
taking down both the Windows
Validation Assistant and the
Office Validation Assistant.
The WVA was a prototype for
WGA; it was the first tool
launched that offered a
web-based validation that
could help find evidence that
a copy wasn't genuine that
otherwise might be hard for
the average person to find
(such as bad or leaked product
keys, etc.) The good news is
that we're replacing the WVA
with the Windows Comparison
Guide (WCG) and the Office
Comparison Guide (OCG). These
guides offer much of the same
functionality as the WVA did
by walking users through a
quiz that helps them match the
anti-piracy features of the
products they have, but
without the web-based
validation. For that we're
pointing people directly to
WGA,"
revealed
Alex
Kochis, a senior licensing
manager on the WGA team. ..

23.05.2008Do you know how to deploy?
James Senior: Who actually uses a DVD to deploy? Do you build PC's and sell them? Are you frustrated? Frustrated by the speed of your deployments?
Do you find yourself waiting, brewing tea waiting, wondering if... if there is a better way, a better way to deploy the one thing that holds you back.
Yes, I'm talking about your Operating System. I don't mean to be rude, but the number of people who put their hands up at roadshows when we ask
the question, "who installs their OS using DVD" is quite frankly worrying...no disturbing. Let me put it in perspective.
If
you are installing your OS, beit Windows Vista (preferably) or Windows XP by DVD then in effect you might as well install it using floppy disks.
Although technically not a fair comparison the analogy holds true.
What then is the alternative?

29.08.2008Linux Comparison: Fedora and conclusion
Fedora My first experience of Fedora came with Fedora 7, not long after I first used Ubuntu. I had difficulties getting it set up correctly,
especially when it came to downloading new applications, but once it was running the way I liked, I much preferred it to Ubuntu. My first impressions
of Fedora 10 are good, but there are some clear issues that need addressing, especially when it is put up against Ubuntu and openSUSE. Installation a
mixed experience. At first I didn't think I was going to be able to review Fedora. The LiveCD loaded to 100 percent within a few minutes, then sat
there, apparently doing nothing.

08.12.2008London 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).

11.09.2009AMD and Intel Compare Future Processors in SPEC
Performance of current central processing units may impress, but nothing impresses more than the speed of the forthcoming products. Both Advanced
Micro Devices and Intel Corp. have released SPECfp_rate2006 and SPECint_rate2006 test results of their unreleased processors recently on their
web-sites to impress the public.
If SPEC benchmark results published by AMD and Intel are to be believed, then a system with two
Intel Xeon quad-core microprocessors based on the new micro-architecture at 3.20GHz clock-speed will offer much higher floating point performance than
currently available dual-processor server machines. While the results of a 2P machine featuring a pair of quad-core AMD Opteron at 2.50GHz reveal
potential, its performance is much slower compared to a 2P Intel Xeon 5400-series-based machine (with 3.20GHz CPU clock speed and 1.60GHz processor
system bus speed) in the crucial SPECfp_2006, according to Intel (see slide 18 of
this presentation).
At present, quad-core AMD Opteron processor does not have any advantage over quad-core Intel Xeon processor when it comes to integer computations
at the same clock-speed. Nevertheless, the new micro-architecture of AMDs quad-core chips allows the central processing units (CPUs) to outperform
Intel quad-core Xeon central processing units by 26% when it comes to floating point computations. However, performance comparison between the
forthcoming chips may become much different.
