whitepaper Organize and Simplify Access to the My Documents Folder2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Microsoft Windows 2000 introduced a new place to store the documents - the My Documents folder. Microsoft Windows XP carries on the My Documents tradition. The integration of the My Documents folder into the Windows interface is a major advantage to using My Documents rather than another folder structure.

whitepaper FireWire Memory Dump of a Windows XP Computer: A Forensic Approach2007-04-02 FriendsGlobal
  In a forensic investigation, while collecting evidence, Anzaldua, Godwin, Volonino state the best practice is to unplug a computer or remove a laptop's battery, so as to preserve the exact contents of a disk without introducing artifacts, changes to the system, for later investigations. It is critical the original contents of a system, as found, are not altered. Using the operating system shut down alters log and temp file states; furthermore, a shutdown may trigger a logic bomb and a possible data wipe. This approach has a problem; it does not preserve active memory.   
whitepaper Power Consumption & Management: Windows Vista Versus Windows XP2007-03-21 Microsoft
  It is important to note that the financial and carbon-dioxide savings are not due to a PC running Windows Vista consuming less power per task than a PC running Windows XP (for example, typing up a document in Microsoft Word will consume very similar amounts of power). Instead, it is based on real-world usage of computers. In particular, the habit of computer users to leave their PCs running even when not in use. This is more relevant to Windows Vista, as opposed to Windows XP, due to the addition of advanced power management to Group Policy, the improved reliability of Sleep mode, and, most importantly, Vista PCs being automatically put into Sleep mode after an hour of non-use.

whitepaper Getting Started With User Account Control on Windows Vista2006-12-06 01:00:24 Microsoft
  User Account Control (UAC) is a new security component of the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. UAC enables users to perform common tasks as non-administrators, called standard users in Windows Vista, and as administrators without having to switch users, log off, or use Run As. A standard user account is synonymous with a user account in Windows XP. User accounts that are members of the local Administrators group will run most applications as a standard user. By separating user and administrator functions while enabling productivity, UAC is an important enhancement for Windows Vista. This paper provides user experience and configuration data for both managed and unmanaged environments as well as information about UAC updates included in Windows Vista.
