whitepaper An Overview of Windows Presentation Foundation2006-11-30 01:00:17 EPS Software
  There are several new acronyms that are usually associated with Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn). These acronyms include WinFX, WinFS, WCF (Windows Communication Foundation; codenamed Indigo), and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation; codenamed Avalon). Nowadays there has been a lot of buzz going around WPF, which is one of the core components of WinFX. This paper explains what WPF is and how one can start preparing for Vista by developing applications using the available SDK.   
whitepaper Get Those Vista Apps Out the Door0000-00-00 JupiterMedia
  With the Release To Manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Vista, the pressure is on developers to get their applications, old or new, ready to go. Both situations present their own set of challenges and opportunities. Why should a person care about Windows Vista if he develops and delivers software? The most obvious answer is he will be missing out on a large chunk of business if he doesn't. A second and equally important answer is he won't be able to take advantage of all the new capabilities that Windows Vista brings to the table.   
whitepaper Custom Controls in Avalon0000-00-00 Interscape Technologies
  Writing a custom control in Avalon is easy, right? Wrong. A person might be thinking right now that easiness is the essence of Avalon. And, he is right. The problem is that as software evolves, the person tries to build more and more complex things, while maintaining about the same number of lines. To quote Nathan Myhrvold, "Software is a gas - it expands to fit its container".   
whitepaper Uninstalling Drivers and Devices on Windows Vista2006-11-30 Microsoft

whitepaper Windows Vista Rules for Enabling Windows Aero: With Guidelines for Troubleshooting2006-11-30 Microsoft
  This paper describes the process that Windows Vista uses to automatically enable Aero and the conditions under which it will notify users of performance problems and possibly scale back the experience. Also included is a detailed troubleshooting guide for Aero-related problems. Windows Vista is the first Microsoft Windows operating system that provides a range of user experiences that gracefully scale based on a system's hardware capabilities while still giving the user full control over configuration options.

whitepaper Managing Windows Vista Group Policy (Part 2)2006-12-06 01:00:24 TechGenix
  Windows Vista includes some important changes from earlier Windows operating systems in regards to Group Policy (GP). This paper introduces the reader to how Multiple Local Group Policy Objects (MLGPO) can make any 'Stand-alone', or 'Kiosk', administrator happy. Typically MLGPOs will be used in non-Active Directory environments where the user have standalone or workgroup computers, and the great thing is that it now supports different policy configurations for "Administrators" and "Non-Administrators" ("Limited users") and even specific policy settings for individual users! If a given user is not a member of the "Administrators" group, then the user is automatically considered a "Non-administrator", which is actually not a security group in itself. The paper covers multiple local group policy objects.   
whitepaper An Overview of Link Local Multicast Name Resolution2006-12-06 01:00:24 TechGenix
  When a user on a corporate network needs to access some resource off of another computer, the user usually specifies the remote system's NetBIOS name when establishing the connection. This means that users can attach to a remote system by using its NetBIOS name and Windows will query the DNS server in order to determine the IP addresses associated with the host record matching the computer's name. In most cases, it is either impossible or impractical to add a DNS server to a home network or to an ad-hoc network. This makes name resolution impossible. Windows Vista in Longhorn Server will change this with the new technology called link local multicast name resolution.
