Windows Vista SP 1, And Some Reading On “Surface”

A lightweight post, today is the last day of my ten day vacation. Tomorrow things start to get back to normal again, probably beginning with an over flowing inbox!

As a piece of diversionary reading, a white-paper was posted to the Windows Vista Team blog late last week that outlines what will be coming in Service Pack 1, including details of improvements in the areas of security, reliability and performance. You will find the white-paper at this link.

Additionally you will find a post by Mark White talking about Microsoft Surface technology, this is something that I have seen in demo form a few times now, but have not yet had the chance to play with.

When I’m back in Redmond in November I will hopefully get the chance to take a closer look for myself. I think the technology has a number of potential uses here in Asia, looking it it in the context of support for educational environments, or maybe in a rural computing scenario.
