Windows 7: Service Controller and Background Processing [Windows 7: Service Controller and Background Processing]

Yochay Kiriaty — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:41:54 GMT

At any given point, Windows is executing a lot of code. Some of this code runs in the background as services. In pre Windows 7 operating systems some services were set to auto run even though the configuration of the system (installed apps, hardware, etc) did not warrant them running. Chittur Subbaraman, Windows kernel developer extraordinaire, and team spent a great deal of time thinking about and rectifying these problems by re-architecting the Windows 7 Service Controller. Watch this video to learn about the details and history of the service controller (and Task Manager).

Windows 7: Find and Organize Part 2 - Building Federated Search applications [Windows 7: Find and Organize Part 2 - Building Federated Search applications]

Yochay Kiriaty — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:41:52 GMT

David Washington and Brandon Paddock show how developers can build federated search applications that enable you to easily search your organization's intranet or the Web and integrate those search results directly into Windows Explorer. The best part is that instead of needing to install software on Windows 7 to get new search providers, you simply run an XML configuration file to add a search provider to your machine!

A lap around Windows 7 new Scenic Ribbon [A lap around Windows 7 new Scenic Ribbon]

Yochay Kiriaty — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:41:47 GMT

Windows 7 has a new Ribbon platform developers can leverage to create a new user experience for their applications. Using the Windows 7 Ribbon, developers can eliminate much of the drudgery of Win32 UI development and deliver a rich, graphical, animated, and highly familiar user interface by using markup based UI and a small, high-performance, native code runtime.
Join Nicolas Brun and Ryan Demopoulos as they explain what Windows 7 Ribbon is all about, how developers can use it, and why Microsoft invests resources in creating a new Ribbon for Windows 7.
