Gates announces new Windows update tool

Microsoft founder Bill Gates on Tuesday detailed his company's plan for computer management software and announced a long-awaited Windows update tool.

During a keynote speech at the company's IT Forum conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, Gates outlined Microsoft's ambitious effort to trim the cost of managing corporate data centers, called the Dynamic Systems Initiative.

IT Forum, Microsoft's largest conference in Europe, is expected to draw roughly 4,000 computer systems managers.

Microsoft also announced systems management-related product updates, including the first public test release of an automatic Windows update service.

Microsoft's DSI is a multiyear plan to wring greater productivity out of systems operators, who oversee company networks. With better management tools, administrators can handle more tasks, such as updating server patches, more quickly.

Improved systems administration has become a high priority for Microsoft's business software division. Company executives point out that the majority of information technology budgets are dedicated to running existing systems, rather than creating new business applications.

Microsoft competes with IBM, Hewlett-Packard and other companies in the systems management software market.

The first products to come from Microsoft's DSI will appear next year with the release of Visual Studio 2005, the company's flagship programming tool. With it, developers are expected to begin to build applications that are less likely to crash or suffer from poor performance, Microsoft claims.

During his speech, Gates discussed the longer-term vision for DSI as well as how Microsoft is seeking to improve its management tools, said David Hamilton, director of Microsoft's Windows and enterprise management division.

Hamilton said that future Microsoft management products, namely Systems Management Server and Microsoft Operations Manager, will be designed to monitor performance of data center components by tracking Microsoft-defined "models." The models will describe the health of an application, its configuration and the tasks it supposed to perform, he said.

These models can be defined by programmers with a modeling tool that will be part of Visual Studio 2005 Team System, which is set to be available in the first half of next year. For example, a developer can indicate that an e-mail application needs to run on four servers and have a certain amount of bandwidth to meet expected demand.

"Models are a way of tracking the instrumentation of the application in real time," Hamilton said. "Getting the models right is absolutely critical."

Gates also discussed a new smart card, from a company called Axalto, that can be programmed using Microsoft's development tools. The smart cards can then be used as a secure mechanism for logging onto corporate networks, in conjunction with Microsoft's existing Active Directory and Identity Integration Server software.

By describing the company's long-term plans for DSI, Microsoft hopes to get developers and systems operators familiar with the company's future products and recruit third-party companies to build add-ons to Microsoft's systems management software, Hamilton said.

Also at IT Forum, Microsoft said that it has started a wide-scale beta testing program for its Windows Update Service for sending out Windows patches, and that its Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 product and Virtual Server 2005 software are generally available worldwide.

The company also released enhancements to SMS 2003 for easing large-scale desktop deployments and for installing software on Windows handheld devices.

The windows update tool everyone needs

They should make it install either mac os X or linux, depending on the users wishes. Anything else is not enough.

Wind & Solar Power is not the answer!

If your reading this your IQ must be above 105!

The rest of the story begins with permanet magnet motors, ie years of free power at no cost! Is everyone looking for electrical power solutions to start with your local power company, after all do you think for one minute they are willing too give up their recurring revenues (three trillion dollar business) called metering?

Okey! When was the last time your meter was checked for accuraccy? Was it check by electrical standards or by the reps stop watch?

People don't understand this meter thing, they just pay the bill! On & On for decades too come!

I spent a lot of money and years of time to be independent of power providers. To me they are the tax masters like sales, vehicle, proprety, gas, food, death texas and on & on!

Ok folks, here is a very revelant fact! Your gas mileage on your car is infulenced most by outside air temperature, driver tactics, octaine ratings or engine design?

If you thought engine design your right! Our engines today do not incorporate waste heat being generated from the engine, machanical force (engine design) radiator, transmission, braking heat, exhaust or charging system to the battery.

If all these factors where incorporated for energy recovery (meaning the energy force it took to create it)you could enjoy up to 500 or more miles per gallon of fuel!

In 1998 Sandia National evaulated one of our products for energy savings sponsered by NASA through a CRADA with the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Our savings was 58%!

Power is not based on sign up & paying for your lifetime to the energy providers! Add it up what you have already paid to those companies!

And your not done yet! Not until death calls.
