whitepaper Microsoft Portable Executable and Common Object File Format Specification2008-02-15 Microsoft
  This specification describes the structure of executable (image) files and object files under the Windows family of operating systems. These files are referred to as Portable Executable (PE) and Common Object File Format (COFF) files, respectively.

whitepaper BCDEdit Reference2008-02-05 Microsoft
  The Boot Configuration Data store (BCD) contains boot configuration parameters and controls how the operating system is booted for Windows Vista and later versions. BCD abstracts the underlying firmware and provides a common programming interface that can be used to manipulate the boot environment for all systems running Windows Vista or later versions of Windows. Every such system has a system BCD store that contains the data that controls the boot environment. Systems can have additional BCD stores, but only one store at a time can be designated as the system store.   
whitepaper Report: Yankee Group Reports on Unix / Linux Uptime and the Reliability Woes that Plague Windows2008-01-01 IBM
  Use this report on the Yankee Group's Global Server Operating System Reliability Survey to make an informed choice on which servers best fit your needs. The independent, non-sponsored survey identifies the most reliable platforms. IBM AIX Unix led all server operating systems (compared with HP and Sun) with an average of just 36 minutes per server of annual downtime.

whitepaper Windows Disk Idle Detection2007-11-20 Microsoft
  This paper details the infrastructure supporting disk idle detection in the Windows operating system. The Windows power manager cooperates with disk driver software to automatically spin down hard disk drive rotational media to reduce power consumption when the system is idle. System manufacturers will learn how to configure the disk idle detection power policies in their system preload. System manufacturers and test personnel will learn how to use the PwrTest utility to observe the mechanics of disk idle detection.

whitepaper VNUNet - Vista-Compatible Apps2007-11-15 Quocirca
  The mad rush to commercial implementations of Windows Vista does not seem to have happened despite Microsoft's mild protestations to the contrary. The operating system has reached the dizzy heights of a little over seven per cent of all desktop OS installations, according to Net Applications, and possibly fewer than one per cent in the commercial area, according to Sunbelt Software. There are several possible reasons put forward for this: hardware being too old to cope with Vista's requirements, everyone waiting for Service Pack 1, the cost of re-training staff on the new platform and the lack of interest in some of its whizzier aspects.

whitepaper Designing Power-Friendly Devices2007-05-08 Intel
  This paper focuses on a generally-observed industry problem, where the behavior of devices causes a significant increase to system power. Much work has been done in Microsoft Windows operating systems such as Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as in the hardware on modern processors, chipsets, and supporting logic to enable deep processor and platform power management. Unfortunately, today's systems are not optimized for situations where devices may generate power-unfriendly traffic patterns or do not support (or do not properly implement) baseline mobile platform features such as link power management or intelligent traffic management.
