He also downplayed a recent IDC study, co-sponsored by Microsoft, that gave the TCO edge to Windows. >> Microsoft is mum on mixed platform management Looking for a road map on how best to manage your enterprise's hodge-podge of software platforms? There is no simple path leading from Redmond -- or anywhere else for that matter. >> Clean registry -- better performance There's no question that the Windows registry is incredibly important. But not everyone knows that if you maintain a clean registry you can also boost system performance. Serdar Yegulalp explains why and how. Tip of the Week: Take an off-the-shelf application. Fold it into an enterprise system. Mix well with legacy applications. That's your recipe for an application meltdown.
