Vista Is More Modular

Vista is a completely modular operating system: security updates, language packs, and service packs are simply components which can be added on to the basic Vista image. For deployment of these components over your enterprise, tools such as the Package Manager can be used. Before you deploy Vista, you need to configure which of the components to install; this is done by enabling the components as required, using a tool such as the Windows System Image Manager.

Vista can be patched before it is deployed on to your network. This is another benefit of having a componentised image—you can apply changes and service the image file both online and even offline when Vista is not running. Since drivers are also treated as components under Vista; they too can be added and removed easily. This means that driver updates or new drivers can be pushed just-in-time into the OS image, when the machine boots for the first time.

Preventive Maintenance – Part 10

Motherboard

All components of your computer are connected to your motherboard. The tiny components of the motherboard are difficult to clean and maintain. Layering of dust can however increase the chances of overheating. Clean the motherboard, RAM cards and other component cards with a dry cloth. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner on the motherboard since the tiny components and wires may cause a problem.

JPEG

This format was designed to transfer graphic data and images over digital networks and was generally used to hold and transfer full color photorealistic images. Before JPEG, there were very few formats, which supported 24-bit halftone images. TIFF and BMP formats allowed holding 24-bit data, but they failed to perform lossless compression of the data, which contained 1000 colors from the real world, on the high quality level. JPEG compresses photos, though with quality loss. Photos and multi-color images, transferred in this format, are ideal for networking. It is not possible to refine JPEG images, though it is possible to debase them by decreasing the file size. This format is primarily used to hold photorealistic graphic images with a large number of colors. Compressed data capacity depends on image contents. JPEG supports Progressive JPEG standard, which conceptually looks like interlaced in the GIF format. This means that the JPEG Progressive format images are loaded by parts, which are displayed, as they are loaded. Such a format is good for large files.
