Some I/O improvements in Windows Server 2008

I already posted this on my previous blog but the question comes up so often I decided to do a repost. Windows Server 2008 offers a lot of new features that are very visible like Internet Information Server 7.0, a whole new virtualization model, Server Manager and many many more.  But being a SQL Server person I am interested in other things that have been improved.  These not so visible features are mostly I/O related since databases are a synonym for I/O.  Also note that many (if not all) of these changes also apply to Windows Vista. I/O Completion Port improvement Before Windows Server 2008 a thread that issued an async I/O also executed the I/O completion task causing a context switch which is expensive.  The I/O completion is now deferred until the thread pulls the I/O off the completion port preventing this context switch.

To transform Windows Server 2008 in a Workstation (to directly develop on MOSS 2007)

Hello, Few days ago I changed my professional notebook/laptop for a real “working” machine. Working on advanced MOSS 2007 projects, setting up directly MOSS on my host OS is nice, so did I. Windows Server 2008 Standard RC1 EN, bytes from MSDN, looks like the best candidate for this. Once setup (it’s Vista “like” setup screens), the OS runs smoothly, and working pleasure is here. But, Windows Server 2008 is hardened compared to Windows Server 2003 R2 on security. Everything is here, but you need to dig in the OS to have them: ·        Having Windows Media Player or Photo Gallery: To have them available you’ll use the great new feature of Windows Server 2008: SERVER MANAGER   From here.
