whitepaper Early Adoption of Windows Vista Yields Strong Returns for Midsized Companies2008-04-01 Microsoft
  IT departments in midsize organizations are expected to improve the quality of services to PC end-users, cut IT support costs, and increase business flexibility. Compared to large enterprises, midsize companies have tighter IT budgets and fewer IT resources. With the release of the Windows Vista operating system at the end of 2006, IT managers faced the decision of when and how to deploy it across their organizations. To help answer these questions, Wipro Technologies interviewed 73 midsize companies that have begun deploying Windows Vista??. Major findings include:
  • Depending upon the deployment method chosen, Windows Vista ROI can be very strong?ranging from 81% to 104% for midsize organizations.
  • With widespread application availability, the release of Service Pack 1, and more than half of all US companies either running or evaluating it, Windows Vista has entered the mainstream adoption phase. Midsize companies should plan to begin deploying Windows Vista during their next PC refresh cycle.
  • Delaying the Windows Vista upgrade process can result in deployment costs that are twice as high asthose organizations using a timely refresh-based upgrade, while foregoing the productivity benefits of Windows Vista. Running an outdated operating system may result in additional risks and costs as software suppliers drop application support, drivers for new hardware become unavailable, and PC vendors no longer ship the prior operating system pre-loaded.
Security benefits are significant. Windows Vista-based PCs are almost three times less likely to be infected with potentially unwanted software than Windows XP-based PCs. PCs running Windows Vista have 60% fewer malware infections than Windows XP SP2 PCs.

whitepaper How Operating Systems Create Network Efficiency2007-11-02 Lake Partners Strategy Consultants
  Lake Partners Strategy Consultants conducted research to understand the efficiencies created by different operating systems. Research included (but was not limited to) investigation of Juniper Network's operating system (JUNOS software). For customers who perceived a difference in efficiency between operating systems, Lake Partners quantified that difference in key network areas. Based on these customer interviews and the data collected, Lake Partners' found that in specific network areas JUNOS software creates significant and meaningful operational efficiencies. Specifically, those who perceive the most impact from JUNOS software save a total of 25% of time on common network operations tasks compared to competitive operating systems.

whitepaper The Need for Asynchronous, Zero-Copy Network I/O2006-07-25 Red Hat
  The network interfaces provided by today's OSes severely limit the efficiency of network programs. The kernel copies the data coming in from network interface at least once internally before making the data available in the user-level buffer. This paper explains the problems and introduces some possible solutions. These necessarily cover more than just the network interfaces themselves, there is a bit more support needed.

whitepaper How Multicore Processing and 64-Bit Operating Systems Enhance a Utility Computing Environment2005-10-01 IDG (International Data Group)
  In today's market efficiency, effectiveness and the integration of the IT service with the business process are all top of mind with technology leaders. As organizations wrestle with how to better align IT with their business and drive economies of scale into their IT environments, increasingly utility computing is an option to consider. As the concept of a pool of resources develops, technologies like multicore and 64-bit computing in the x86 space are helping to mature the utility environment, expand the pool of potential applications and dissolve even more barriers in today's compartmentalized IT environments.
