whitepaper Using the Java Persistence API in Desktop Applications2007-06-01 Sun Microsystems
  The JSR 220 specification defines Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0. One of its primary goals is to simplify the creation, management, and storage of entity beans. Working towards that goal, Sun Microsystems and supporting community developers created a new Application Programming Interface (API) that lets one use "Plain old Java objects" or POJOs as the persistable entities. The Java Persistence API facilitates the use of POJOs as entity beans and significantly reduces the need for complicated deployment descriptors and extra helper beans. Additionally, one can even use the API in desktop applications.

whitepaper The USAF Standard Desktop Configuration (SDC)2007-06-01 Microsoft
  The US Air Force is one of the largest and most sophisticated IT organizations in the world. The US Air Force has over one hundred bases located in the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. More than 500,000 Microsoft Windows-based desktops and laptops are deployed at those bases. Additionally, more than 40,000 Microsoft Windows-based servers are deployed at Air Force bases around the world. These computers directly support Air Force programs, missions, and operations. This paper reviews the ongoing US Air Force Standard Desktop Configuration program at an executive level. It provides information on how the program originated, its current status and why in just two years it has been nearly completely fielded across the unclassified networks of the Air Force.

whitepaper Making PC Lifecycle Management Work for You: A Four-Phase Approach2007-04-01 Attachmate
  PC Lifecycle Management (PCLM) provides a cohesive and effective solution. PCLM is the practice of managing end-user systems from purchase to retirement. It covers everything from initial deployment to upgrading, patching, and decommissioning the systems. Though it sounds like traditional desktop management, PCLM is different in one key way: It requires that one integrates the management process with the management product. Without this integration, PCLM will not work.   
whitepaper Bringing Solid State Drive Benefits to Computer Notebook Users2007-04-01 SanDisk
  The benefits of flash are now becoming available to a new group of consumer electronics customers, computer notebook users. As a drop-in replacement for the traditional mechanical Hard Disk Drive (HDD), the flash-based Solid State Drive (SSD) can be used inside thin and light laptops, ultra-portable, Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs) and other portable computers. Research by Gartner predicts that by 2010 some 32 million units, representing both consumer and professional notebooks, will contain SSDs.

whitepaper The OpenSpan Platform: Enabling the New Enterprise Desktop2007-03-16 OpenSpan
  OpenSpan allows the user to quickly and easily build, deploy, and administer integrations and automations and thus begin realizing the associated ROI benefits more quickly and with less risk than previous technologies. The OpenSpan approach to application integration allows exposing the underlying objects within the applications (including desktop and custom-build applications), treat them as standardized building blocks, build powerful and robust integrations and automations via a visual programming environment, and deploy and administer them seamlessly across the desktop environment. And it enables the user to do so in a fraction of the time compared to alternative technologies.
