微软虚拟化发布成本计算工具 TCO/ROI tool

ultraxp — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:25:42 GMT

日前，微软发布了虚拟化技术相关的成本计算工具。

http://www.microsoft.com/virtualization/tco-roi.mspx

主要的资源:

1) 新白皮书, “How Customers Are Cutting Costs and Building Value with Microsoft Virtualization” 其中包括了超过20个客户案例，说明了微软虚拟化如何帮助客户节省成本

2) 介绍性视频video, 新的ROI计算器以及 Hyper-Green计算器

3) 新的网页，包括上述内容 http://www.microsoft.com/virtualization/tco-roi.mspx

Social Bookmarking: 您也可以向TechNet提交技术内容

ultraxp — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:24:42 GMT

长期以来，微软针对专业技术人员的内容站点: TechNet (针对ITPro)， MSDN（开发人员）以及Expression(针对设计人员)都以内容官方，权威为特色。其海量专业技术文档往往是专业人员工作参考的重要资料。

目前微软已经悄悄地做出了新的尝试，就是让用户可以直接向这些技术平台贡献内容。

只要注册了Windows Live ID并登陆到以上网站(TechNet，MSDN或Expression)，普通用户就可以向这些网站上加入内容。

第一个应用就是Social Bookmarking（收藏）

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/zh-CN/

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/zh-CN/

登陆后，可以添加任何网络URL（微软或非微软），而其他用户可以保存你所提交的收藏或提交他们自己的收藏。这也是目前非常流向的一项web 2.x应用Social Bookmarking。

除了这项应用之外，微软将逐步构建一个统一平台，然用户可以单一登陆，添加bookmarking,评注知识库文章，回答论坛问题等。而这些内容贡献，可以统一一个统一的微软社区个人页面展现，并可以让其他用户访问，分享。

Mark Russinovich 两课

ultraxp — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 05:26:02 GMT

TechReady最后两节课，Mark Russinovich连讲，且是重复昨天的课程。最大场地，依然爆满。

其实内容没有什么新鲜的。一节下一代产品的一些解密与Demo；同样内容已经有产品组人讲过；一节是troubleshooting，传统课。

下面不做评论，仅说一些观察:

1: Mark的课程比较容易获得掌声。例如，一般Speaker问：在座多少人听过这个产品。一般人们举手回复。而Mark的听众，鼓掌。所以他课程掌声一般是别人十倍。

2：Mark不愿意，或不屑于用PPT特效。他直白而明确的这么表达。

3：Mark原来是Computer Engineering Ph.D。 Ph.D = 脑部永久的伤害，他再次证明了

4: Mark热爱troubleshooting. 真的，明显好于他讲其他内容。所以，如果没有计算机，也许他会是一个豪斯一样的怪才医生.

5: Mark足够英俊，健康。使用红色13' XPS。 ~ 内心奔放？

6：非常Hands On. 关键新Demo做的比我昨天看过的产品组的人好。

7：久经讲台，厌倦了所有 presentation skill课程的经典教义。但是仍保留核心招式，短小精悍，足够好用，类似太祖长拳。

8: 粉丝众多。但很多不是真的听他的内容。

9：无论他讲什么，讲的质量如何，同样的内容即使别人真的比他讲的好(同一内容，我听过另一讲师，真的很好)，Mark还是拿第一

10：尚有自我解嘲的明智

无论如何，在这样满场高手的会上，鲜有人能在最后一天，最后2场能吸引满座。

不过，也许找一个长得像的人，练习一下，也能同样拿第一，开个玩笑 :)

Best Regards. 去睡觉吧，明天终于可以回国了。

几点感想

ultraxp — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:37:19 GMT

本来想了好久要不要写这次来总部培训的一些感想，因为很多的技术涉密，不谈技术对技术人员就没什么意思。

今晚和Nuo Yan聊天后，觉得还是写吧。主题是，我觉得微软好在哪儿。

1：人
坐在演讲大厅内，看到高清大屏幕上放映大厅门口来自世界各地的微软人入场的镜头。我真的被这些人震撼。虽然在微软已经快六年。但是每次看到这么一大群人的精神面貌，整体状况，稳重而有激情，有思想但不偏激，永远有危机感，总是有绝地反击的自信，时刻面对挑战，总能完成不能完成的任务......... 我感叹自己是那么的幸运。

Nuo Yan也和我谈到见过的微软人。同感，最吸引你的，就是这些人。

这次非常激动的是Ray Ozzie。按他的话说: 以前我只能tell you about S+S，现在我可以Show you. 而且，当整个场内几千人激烈鼓掌的时候，我不但知道我们将会赢。更重要是，你看到一个综合了Bill的技术天分与Steve Ballmer商业敏锐的新领袖。他的风格，似乎就是Bill与Steve的综合体。

Kevin Turner，这位30多岁就成为世界上最大公司顶级管理人员的天才，现在微软COO。向大家描述了在未来几年经济不景气的情况下，微软该怎么走？我想我们需要这样的商业天才。

2: 问答

精彩！

这些人有勇气，有智慧。在吸收这么多精彩内容的同时，他们居然发现那么独特而有价值的观点，更重要的是优秀和机智的提问方式。

突出问题，突出智慧，但很少喧宾夺主自我表现。

3: 技术，技术，技术

微软是非常少的，真正尊重技术，重视技术人才的公司。毋庸置疑的是这家公司有世界上最优秀的市场营销人员，但是那样的尊重技术人员，而且持之以恒，非常少见。

曾经很多次，我们怀疑自己是否已经在技术上走错了方向，或者被竞争对手远远抛在后面。

曾经很多次，我们问这家公司还有多少发展的空间，我们是否真的还能做的更好

或者有时甚至抱怨为什么我们就不能在这儿或者那儿变得更像对手。

但最后发现，我们有更好的东西。

那时候，震撼于自己对这家公司了解的还太少。

也许，有很多很多非常非常优秀的软件公司。他们有独特的视角，非凡的创意，优秀的技术，睿智的人才。这些都是很好很好的。也是我没有体验过而无法比较。但是，还是觉得，这家公司，微软，是如此的优秀！

拒绝和这么优秀的人在一起，真的能成为改变每个人生活变化的一部分。真的很难。

INTRODUCTION

This article contains information and resources to use when you plan to upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008.

Back to the top

MORE INFORMATION

Latest news summary

Microsoft has revised the upgrade guidance that begins with the Windows Server 2008 SKUs. This guidance reflects the best practices that customers typically follow when they upgrade to a new server operating system.
The improved features and capabilities of Windows Server 2008 require significant changes to the upgrade process. Therefore, Microsoft provides the following guidance to help you upgrade to Windows Server 2008.
Note In this article, third-party software is defined as any software or software component, role, or function that is not included with Windows Server or that is not delivered to Windows Server when you use Windows Update. This definition also includes Microsoft utilities and applications.

•
We recommend that you perform a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 whenever possible.

•
There are supported upgrade paths to upgrade to Windows Server 2008. We recommend that you follow the steps in this article before you upgrade to Windows Server 2008. This includes researching the software or hardware manufacturers' support policy for upgrading to Windows Server 2008.

•
Before you upgrade to Windows Server 2008, we recommend that you remove any installed third-party software that is not supported by the software manufacturer for upgrade to Windows Server 2008. When you upgrade to Windows Server 2008 without removing the installed third-party software that is not supported, the third-party software may not function correctly.

This guidance applies to Windows Server 2003 operating systems that you want to upgrade to Windows Server 2008. Microsoft will provide technical support for the operating system, for Windows-delivered software, and for Microsoft applications to comply with your organization's technical support agreement and with Microsoft Customer Support Services.
Note Scenarios may exist in which upgrading a Windows Server component, role, or function is not supported. The Compatibility Report lists these scenarios during the Windows Server 2008 setup process.

Back to the top

Background for the revised guidance

Support policies may vary by software and hardware manufacturer. The best method to make sure that software or hardware works correctly during the upgrade process is for the manufacturer to conduct specific testing and to provide technical support and guidance directly to customers.
Microsoft has made resources available to software and hardware manufacturers to help them develop solutions that provide a high-quality experience throughout the upgrade process.

Back to the top

Recommendations

We recommend that you take the following planning, assessment, and preparation steps when you consider upgrading to Windows Server 2008.

Planning and assessment

•
Determine whether your desired upgrade path is supported.

•
For all software and hardware solutions, check the manufacturers' Web site to verify that the following conditions are true:

•
The solutions are supported throughout the upgrade process to Windows Server 2008.

•
The manufacturer supports the solution on Windows Server 2008.

•
The manufacturer provides additional guidance when you upgrade to Windows Server 2008.

•
Use the following Microsoft resources to help assess Windows Server 2008 readiness:

•
The Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products
The Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products is the comprehensive listing of tested software and hardware for Windows Server 2003 and for Windows Server 2008. For more information about the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://windowsservercatalog.com/default.aspx (http://windowsservercatalog.com/default.aspx)

•
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator tool
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Solution Accelerator tool assesses the hardware inventory to help plan your migration to Windows Vista and to Windows Server 2008.
For more information about the MAP Solution Accelerator tool, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx)

•
The "Works with Windows Server 2008" tool
The "Works with Windows Server 2008" tool determines application compatibility.
For more information about the "Works with Windows Server 2008" tool, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://windowsservercatalog.com/content.aspx?ctf=resources.htm (http://windowsservercatalog.com/content.aspx?ctf=resources.htm)

•
The "Certified for Windows Server 2008" tool
The "Certified for Windows Server 2008" tool helps determine which applications are ready for mission-critical environments.
For more information about the "Certified for Windows 2008" tool, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://windowsservercatalog.com/content.aspx?ctf=ready.htm (http://windowsservercatalog.com/content.aspx?ctf=ready.htm)

Preparation

•
Conduct a full backup of the Windows Server 2003 environment before you start the upgrade process.

•
Use the MAP Solution Accelerator tool to help assess the current inventory of installed applications on an existing network of servers.
The MAP Solution Accelerator tool is a migration readiness tool that includes hardware assessment, server virtualization candidacy recommendations, and software installation inventory for Windows Server 2008 migration and for Windows Vista migration. This tool will find only applications that were installed by using the Add or Remove Programs feature in Control Panel. We recommend that you use this tool as a reference tool and not as a comprehensive source.
For more information about the MAP Solution Accelerator tool, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx)

•
Remove any third-party software that is not supported by the software manufacturer for upgrade to Windows Server 2008.

Back to the top

Support

If you experience a problem during the upgrade process, Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) will help restore the upgraded Windows Server 2003 environment to a supported state. CSS will do this even if third-party-delivered software may be contributing to errors or to instability.

•
If a backup of the operating system is available, CSS will help you restore the environment to pre-upgrade status by following data recovery processes. There is no guarantee that any data can be recovered.

•
If no backup is available, CSS will help you recover to a supported state in the quickest way possible. For example, CSS might reinstall Windows Server 2003 and then help you upgrade to Windows Server 2008.

•
Independent software vendors (ISVs), independent hardware vendors (IHVs), and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will also be engaged, at our discretion, to try to preserve any application-specific data or operating system-specific data during the data recovery process.

Resources

How to assess Windows Server 2008 readiness

Microsoft provides free resources to help the IT community plan and provide for smoother migrations to Windows Server 2008.
The Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products is the resource for applications, for hardware devices, and for systems that have passed testing on Windows Server 2003 and on Windows Server 2008. Research the Windows Server solutions in the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products to help you make more-informed purchasing decisions.
Even though a program, a device, or a system may appear in the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products, the solution may not be supported when you upgrade to Windows Server 2008.
For more information about the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/ (http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/)

New application readiness tools and certification standards

Microsoft provides freely available tools for download that help IT professionals, system integrators, and ISVs to determine application readiness for Windows Server 2008 in-house. These tools can also be leveraged throughout the life cycle of an application. Additionally, they help find applications that can use newer technologies, such as 64-bit technology.
For more information about the application readiness tools and about Windows Server 2008 certification standards, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://windowsservercatalog.com/content.aspx?ctf=ready.htm (http://windowsservercatalog.com/content.aspx?ctf=ready.htm)

"Ready applications" are applications that ISVs have indicated provide technical support on the Windows Server 2008 platform. These applications are listed in the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products.
The "Works with Windows Server 2008" tool is an automated self-test that determines application compatibility. The tool helps save time during development and testing of commercial and of custom applications. The test duration is only two to four hours, and the test provides a detailed summary.
Applications that have passed "Works with Windows Server 2008" testing have had their results verified by an independent third party. Additionally, these applications are listed in the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products.
After you obtain the "Works with Windows Server 2008" test results, you can use the "Certified for Windows Server 2008" tool and logo to discover mission-critical and line-of-business applications. You can do this by testing for compliance with Microsoft best practices for security, for availability, for reliability, and for Windows fundamentals.
The testing cycle is more rigorous than "Works with Windows Server 2008" testing. It requires three to five days.
Hardware devices and computer systems can also undergo extensive testing and can achieve "Certified for Windows Server 2008" status. Applications and hardware that demonstrate this high standard earn the "Certified for Windows Server 2008" logo. Additionally, they are represented in the Windows Server Catalog of Tested Products.

Bill与云彩

ultraxp — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:38:00 GMT

http://www.tweakvista.com/Article39218.aspx

在2008年1月6日的CES大会上，Bill Gate最后一次代表微软作了主题演讲。上面的短片即是描绘的Bill最后一天在微软工作并离开的情景(虚构)。

无论在历史上，还是在我们的周围。能够创建一番丰功伟业的人并不少见，可是能够如此坦然，幽默，洒脱的选择离开的人，能有几个。

英者自知，雄者自胜，可故事里更多的还是英雄迟暮的悲壮。若论洒脱，最多也就是徐志摩的诗词所写：我挥挥衣袖，不带走一片云彩。

可是Bill, 他没有挥衣袖 ----而是微笑的鼓鼓掌，让办公室的灯光熄灭。

他没有挥衣袖，带走的却远比云彩更加传奇。

一转眼，从我2001年第一次接触TechEd到今天已经7年。从一名参会者，到TechEd讲师，到TechEd项目组成员。时间的变化，个人的发展与公司，行业的成长.... 这一切都是难得的经历。明天，TechEd China 2007的第一站上海即将开幕，写几点个人感受。

今年TechEd内部项目启动时，项目组负责人高玉民先生问在座的同事: 在座有哪些人在加入微软之前参加过TechEd。--- 绝大部分人举手。又问: 在座有多少同事在加入微软后参加过不止一次TechEd----几乎全部举手。“在座有哪些同事作为讲师或者项目组成员，为TechEd作过贡献""------ 全部举手...... 在不知不觉中，TechEd已经成为公司内外深入人心的一个品牌。

那么TechEd究竟魔力何在？它并不是完美的，为什么参会者一年比一年多，整个活动越办越成功？我想有以下几点:

合作共赢
合作共赢一直是微软的整体业务发展战略。这也是一个平台公司的核心价值观之一。其实在TechEd中最具体的体现就是我们对每个课程，每个环节都会问问: 对用户，对合作伙伴，这个课程与环节的价值何在？而不是单纯追求宣传公司的产品与技术。
在过去数年中，我看到大量的同事在准备TechEd期间的巨大努力。在TechEd上，你可以看到大量新技术，甚至未发布的产品与技术，这些内容就是为了让用户与合作伙伴在第一时间了解微软的整体走势。
大量的合作伙伴与参展商，也是TechEd的一道风景。参会者不难在现场看到众多合作伙伴的产品演示，甚至包括一些与微软既有竞争也有合作的公司也来参展。有容乃大，这确实是微软的风格。
开放的心态
每年参加TechEd的来宾有数千人，作为讲师与参会合作伙伴则有数百，公司内部涉及几乎全部的团队与部门。如何协调好各方面的需求与反馈，要求与安排？一个开放的心态在其中非常重要。
对用户，每年会议的前，中，后，都有大量的用户反馈。有些用户反馈的坦率常常让人面红耳赤。但是最终都认真对待，一一分析处理。不只是处理客户反馈的团队，项目的主要负责人也会过问。我记得去年在TechEd 06北京，第二天晚上一个小型来宾-TechEd项目组聚会上。一个来宾提出提出 "去年我建议过TechEd不要每年都做尖领汗衫，希望能做一些圆领的，可是我今年发现没有改进。"，当时俺坐在边上脸上又红了 --- 没想到，相关负责的同事Vidy说 "如果我没有记错，您的名字是xxxx，对吗？我们今年已经采纳了你的建议，作了一些新款式的TechEd汗衫 "............

对同事，每年会议在公司内，总部，公司外有数百人报名参加申请作为讲师。每个人都用主人翁的心态对待这个会议。很多人都提出了意见或者建议。坦率的说，不是每个建议都能让人用一种愉悦的心情接受。但是得感谢这些同事，他们对提出意见是如此的锲而不舍 :) 去年TechEd，我们因为一些因素对讲师的安排有一些不当之处。在讲师休息室，会场，餐厅，我经常被这些可爱的同事问到: 为什么我们不能这样，不能那样，如果这样做投入也不是很大，效果会不会好一些？所以今年，我们将改善一些问题 --- 没有开放的心态，不论是提出意见的人，还是听到意见的人，都不能做到如此坚持。

其实是这个环境，这个公司的氛围。让你能够把提升最终结果，提高用户满意程度放在第一优先。
优秀的人
有一年，一个用户在TechEd现场问我：现在微软的webcast做得这么好，而且完全免费。为什么TechEd还有必要举办，为什么还要收费？
我想对这个问题有很多种解答。我只谈一条: 人

每年我们从大量的候选人中精选出TechEd讲师。仅国际讲师一项。TechEd06美国总部报名的约有100多人，我们选出30多位。国内的讲师更是精挑细选。其实和这些优秀的人交流，本身就是很好的一种学习。

一个例子是一位叫做Donald Farmer的讲师。TechEd 06北京。他从住处出发前往郊区的九华山庄会场。在酒店中电梯出现故障他被关在电梯中，高速路上出租车又发生了事故。到了会场，没有一句抱怨，马上最后察看一遍自己的PPT。而在他的演讲中，计算机非常不凑巧的出现了故障 ---- 他已经参加过排练，检查过机器---- 而他居然能在这种情况下获得8点多分的好成绩。(总分9分)。这种心态和成功，靠的不仅仅是技术，而是一种优秀的人做人做事的方式。

比讲师更重要的，是参会的数千名听众。无论技术高低，工作时间长短。其实在用户中能相互学习，相互借鉴的地方很多。因此我们也努力在现场创造大家相互沟通与交流的机会。

我自己也是TechEd的受益者。2001年，那时我还没有加入微软，作为一个参会者参加TechEd。我每天听完课，都会作一些笔记，不只是技术，而是对这一天每个我接触过的讲师的观察与总结。其中我最欣赏一位来自总部的讲师。不仅是他课讲得好。他的行为举止，对现场工作人员真诚的感谢对我都是一种教育。后来，我们成为很好的朋友。

这些交流与沟通的收益，可能远远比学习技术知识本身有更大的价值。

无论是个人还是公司的发展，都会经历很多不同的阶段。重要的是每个阶段都有一些事情能让你觉得有价值。与优秀的同事一起，在一个伟大的公司，为这么多的用户做一件实实在在的事情。这可能就是很多人为TechEd每年多做一些贡献，每年争取一些进步最大的动力。

预祝大家都能在TechEd收获一次难忘的体验。

在Eric的大力推荐下，我决定隆重介绍Live Local的电话功能。

在地图上找到目标后，例如一家best buy，你想打电话过去，问Wii到货没有。

只需要点击地址下的"Call for free"，Live服务会自动接通你与best buy。方便，免费。

这个功能挺Cool的，大家不妨试试。 http://www.maps.live.com

Notes: 该服务可以回Call到任何美国电话，或者任何国家的计算机上。另一端可以接通北美地区。

Gears of Google

"With Google Gears, we're tackling a key limitation of the browser in order to make it a stronger platform for deploying all types of applications and enabling a better user experience in the cloud," said Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, in a statement. "We believe strongly in the power of the community to stretch this new technology to the limits of what's possible and ultimately emerge with an open standard that benefits everyone."

Google hopes Gears will become the standard for adding offline capabilities -- data storage, application caching, and multithreading -- to online applications.

一个有趣的新闻。从技术上 Google正在 1)平台化 2) 加强富客户端/Smart Client 3)强化用户体验

Google正加快 1) 向传统以桌面为中心的软件行业渗透 2)快速多元化

如同微软在在线广告市场的份额不足以与Google博弈。Google在传统软件行业领域目前也难有作为。两家公司都想釜底抽薪，一招绝杀。

拭目以待ing
