Motorola Xyboard 8.2
Motorola’s oddly-named Xyboards are tragic products. Released without much fanfare or publicity, the tablets make their appearance soon after the release of the Kindle Fire and shortly ahead of the appearance of Asus’s Transformer Prime. So it’s fair to say that the tablets have their work cut out for them.

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization
Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization,
a core component of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) for Software
Assurance, enables deployment and management of Microsoft Windows Virtual PC
desktops to enable key enterprise scenarios.
Incompatibility of applications with newer
versions of Microsoft Windows can delay enterprise operating system (OS)
upgrades. Testing and migrating applications can be time-consuming, and
meanwhile users are unable to take advantage of the new capabilities and
enhancements offered by the new OS.
By delivering applications in a Windows
Virtual PC that runs a previous version of Windows XP, MED-V removes the
barriers to OS upgrades and allows administrators to complete testing and to
deal with incompatible applications after the upgrade.
From the user’s perspective, these
applications are accessible from the standard desktop Start menu and appear
side-by-side with native applications—so there is minimal change to the user
experience.
MED-V helps enterprises upgrade to the latest version of Windows when
some applications are not yet functional or supported. MED-V enables customers to migrate to Windows
7 while still leveraging existing legacy Windows XP line of business
applications.
3GB Switch in Windows boot.ini
The /3GB or 3GB switch in the boot.ini file lets you tune
the use of memory and memory address space in your computer. The /3GB switch
specifies the amount of memory for user-mode virtual address space. It is used
to allocate more memory to applications and less memory to the operating
system.
The /3GB switch increases the size of the user process
address space from 2 GB to 3 GB.
This can improve performance of servers that run
virtual-memory-intensive applications. That is for example database servers. A
larger address space can improve a database server performance.
Set the virtual memory paging file size (Windows 7 and Windows Vista)
Virtual memory allows the system to use hard
disk space to store information normally stored in RAM. Windows 7 and Windows
Vista manages virtual memory by using a paging file. You specify the minimum
and maximum size of this file. If the size is different from the default in
Windows Vista, applications may return errors. However, some applications may
require a non-default size for the paging file. Change the size only if other
applications aren't adversely affected.
To set the paging file to the default size:
Note: You
must be logged on as an administrator to change the size of the paging file.

Raid Levels Explained
Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, a
category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination
for fault tolerance and performance. RAID disk drives are used
frequently on servers but aren't generally necessary for personal
computers. RAID allows you to store the same data redundantly (in multiple
paces) in a balanced ay to improve overall performance.
How Increase Your PC's Memory Using USB Flash Drive
Upgrading your computer’s RAM can be costly and
time-consuming. Windows Vista introduced a useful new feature called ReadyBoost.
ReadyBoost has the unique ability to transform ordinary flash based memory into
newfound memory for your computer
ReadyBoost is a disk cache component of Microsoft Windows, first introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista in 2006 and bundled with Windows 7 in 2009. It works by
using flash memory, a USB flash drive, SD card, Compact Flash or any kind of portable
flash mass storage system as a cache.

Logon Script through GPO in Windows Server 2008
There
are two ways to assign Logon scripts. The first is done on the Profile tab of
the user properties dialog in the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC).
The second is done via Group Policy Objects (GPO). Here we are using the second method.
When using
GPOs you can assign MORE than one logon script per user, and you can configure
which script runs first, you can also assign LOGOFF scripts for users, and even
STARTUP and SHUTDOWN scripts for the computer itself.
Create
the logon script and give it the appropriate name (for example: logon.bat,
logon.cmd, logon.vbs, etc.) The script can use ANY name, just make sure
you know what that name is, and give it the right file extension type.
