Medical Diagnostic Software Analyzes Cells 10 Times Faster on 64-Bit Platform 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Applied Cytometry Systems (ACS), based in the United Kingdom, makes software for flow cytometry instruments.

This in turn slows research, hindering advances in medicine and science. In mid-2005, ACS began developing a new product that would take advantage of the processing power and large memory support of Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. The new software analyzes samples 10 times faster than 32-bit versions, and enables researchers to compare sets of cytometry data in ways that were not possible before.

Software Company Extends Windows-Based Authentication to Linux Systems 2007-06-01 Microsoft

Tecplot is a visualization software company based in Bellevue, Washington, whose programs run on multiple computing platforms. The company's data center includes platforms running the Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems, used for development and testing. However, securing and managing user access to the multiple Linux systems was inconsistent and time consuming. The company deployed a management solution called Centeris Likewise Identity, which extends identity and access policies in the Active Directory service so that administrators can use familiar Windows-based tools to manage user access to Linux-based systems. Interoperability between Windows and Linux operating environments gives Tecplot better security, easier system administration, enhanced troubleshooting, and reduced costs.
