Set Up a New Desktop Computer 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

When one sets up a new desktop computer, some assembly is required. And computer setup isn't limited to hardware - when one first turns on a new computer that has Microsoft Windows preinstalled, one needs to perform some simple setup tasks. If the new computer is a standard desktop model, it consists of at least four pieces: a Central Processing Unit (CPU), which is the box that contains the computer's processor, memory, disk drives, and ports for connecting external devices; a monitor; a keyboard; and a mouse. There might also be a pair of external speakers. Turn the CPU around. The back of the CPU has a collection of ports and jacks that looks something like this illustration, although they might be arranged differently.

Performance Characterization of the Dell Flexible Computing On-Demand Desktop Streaming Solution 2007-11-01 Dell

Businesses face increasing challenges in deploying, managing and securing their end user computing machines. Today's information workers rely heavily on their corporate desktops or notebooks to accomplish day-to-day tasks and functions. Managing end user systems is a crucial part of business IT operations. The Dell Flexible Computing Solution for On-Demand Desktop Streaming, based on the Citrix Provisioning Server for Desktops, enables diskless client computers to boot from a network server via well known mechanisms. The network server, referred to as the "Streaming server," delivers disk images containing operating system and applications on demand to clients over the network. The solution removes the traditional requirements of deploying and maintaining software on a client machine's local hard drive.

Windows Desktop Search 3.01 Administration Guide 2007-09-26 Microsoft

Windows Desktop Search (WDS) is the search technology that lets users quickly find almost anything on their computers, including e-mail messages, calendar appointments, photos, documents, and more. In WDS 3.x, the search engine is now a system service but it retains the desktop performance features of previous versions of WDS. WDS 3.x has been optimized in its integration into Vista to give a superior experience compared to WDS on older machines. WDS uses simple search syntax to search for information that the user has selected to index. This means that when a user types "email from:john date:yesterday", WDS will list all e-mail messages that the user received yesterday from anyone named John.

Desktop Virtualization and Independent Computing 2007-09-25 Kusnetzky Group

Virtualization has been around for a long time and takes many forms. Each of the forms is designed to move one aspect of an application system from a physical environment into a logical or virtual environment. Virtual environments can be created to provide an ideal environment for a function or application that may be strikingly different from the underlying physical environment. When speaking to IT executives, however, Kusnetzky Group analysts often hear concerns about the experience staff members have with virtual machine-based environments. This, the Kusnetzky Group thinks, is one of the reasons for the limited adoption of this technology on the desktop. The Kusnetzky Group expects each new wave of technology to improve upon that experience.
