16.03.2006Microsoft 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.

07.12.2007Don't slipstream XP SP3 on Windows Vista!
This just in from Bink, seems he had a pretty interesting weekend attempting to Slipstream XP SP3.
"So I build a new Windows XP ISO with
SP3 integrated, this is a Volume License editions (VOL) which only accepts Volume License Keys (VLK). When I want to install it on a clean machine, I
noticed that setup prompts for a product key and it does not allow me to continue, which should be a new feature in XP sp3. OK so I fill in the VLK
but it does not accept it, I try another one from a customer of mine, does not work either. Angry
I found out that the problem is when you
do the XP Sp3 slipstream process on a WIndows Vista machine, the API gives a different response and screws up the PID process. This is a bug and
Microsoft knew about this in December, still the bug remained and made it all the way to RTM, nice work Microsoft.
So XP SP slipstream only
