whitepaper Virtual PC-Type Thin Client System2007-09-18 NEC
  NEC has developed VirtualPCCenter, a thin client system with a completely new concept that virtualizes integrates entire personal computer environments on servers, and also developed the US100, a dedicated terminal for the system. Features that deserve special mention with regards to the VirtualPCCenter include a diverse range of functions intended to adjust the balance of the load on virtual PCs, as well as to improve operability. Furthermore, the US100 offers an animation playback accelerator capability, considered unsuitable for thin clients, as well as a software phone, featuring a superior sound quality and lower incidence of acoustic delay. This paper introduces features of the VirtualPCCenter and US100.

whitepaper Lenovo's Latest ThinkCentre Desktop Brings Energy Efficiency to the Mainstream2007-09-14 Technology Business Research
  Energy efficiency is the new metric by which businesses are measuring IT operations. Increasingly, energy efficiency is also becoming a factor by which customers and even government regulators are evaluating businesses. By focusing on energy-efficient computing, Lenovo is helping businesses limit energy consumption and boost efficiency. The company has recently been designing more energy-efficient products, including the newly launched ThinkCentre A61e, an ultra small form factor desktop PC. The ThinkCentre A61e uses less than one-half the electricity of a typical small form factor desktop PC.   
whitepaper Scan to PC Desktop Professional Workgroup Edition v9.1: Personalize Your Xerox Network Scanning and Your PDF Workflow2007-09-01 Xerox
  The single greatest challenge today to streamlining document-based processes in the office is the fact that there are three dominant, yet incompatible, document formats - Paper, Microsoft Office and PDF. A significant majority of knowledge and information in the office is still in paper format. Locked in a paper document, knowledge and information is not easily shared across an organization. Microsoft Office provides millions of professionals a rich environment for document creation. However, the editable Microsoft Office file format is not well suited for electronic publishing and online document storage. On the other hand, PDF has emerged as an electronic file sharing standard providing business users with a format that is well suited for the viewing, sharing, printing and archiving of documents.   
whitepaper The Dummy's Guide to Power Supplies2007-08-27 Puget Custom Computers
  Power supplies - they're probably the most overlooked components in any PC, until they break. A failed power supply is one of the easiest problems to diagnose, but a failing or inadequate one is much more subtle and difficult to catch. This paper is designed to give a better understanding of what power supplies do, how they work and how to select the right one for different types of computer set-ups.   
whitepaper Virtualization From the Datacenter to the Desktop2007-07-11 Microsoft
  Enterprises worldwide are embracing a digital work style to stay competitive in a dynamic and increasingly global business environment. This work style requires that teams collaborate seamlessly across organizations and time zones, while success relies on speed, mobility, and connectivity. These trends place ever-increasing pressure on IT departments to provide rich, connected capabilities across the infrastructure, while protecting both the environment and its confidential data from intrusion and disruption. The explosion of social networks and communication devices, and the exponential growth of information stored, accessed, and shared create an environment where compliance is daunting, security is threatened, and complexity becomes overwhelming.

whitepaper Cleaning Up the Linux Desktop Audio Mess2007-06-30 Red Hat
  Desktop audio on Linux is a mess. There are just too many competing, incompatible sound systems around. Most current audio applications have to support every sound system in parallel and thus ship with sound abstraction layers with a more or less large number of back-end plug-ins. JACK clients are incompatible with ALSA clients, which in turn are incompatible with OSS clients, which in turn are incompatible with ESD clients, and so on. "Incompatible" often means "Exclusive;" e.g., if an OSS application gets access to the audio hardware, all ALSA applications cannot access it.

whitepaper Integrating Desktop Applications for Power System Restoration Drills2007-06-26 Environmental Systems Research Institute
  The Midwest ISO (MISO), the Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) for much of central North America, facilitates an annual Power System Restoration Drill. The drill has more than 700 participants from the MISO's member companies, neighboring RTO's and other power companies. In 2005 the MISO built an integrated process using ArcView, AutoCAD, and standard desktop applications to communicate system restoration efforts by all participants. During the drill members notified the MISO of what transmission lines were recently brought back into service, this information updated regional transmission system maps that were then distributed to all drill participants.
