Windows XP is 10 years old, remember WindowsXP.nu?

10 years ago Windows XP was released to the market, it RTM’d end of August 2001.  10 years ago when you googled Windows XP, my site WindowsXP.nu was the number spot, above Microsoft’s own site. How could that happen? Well I started writing about Windows XP well before it came out. I registered the domain name the day that Microsoft announced it for their new OS codenamed Whistler. Back then I was one of the few regularly writing about it, besides Paul Thurrot and the guys at Neowin.net.  As you may know WindowsXP.nu became so popular that Microsoft noticed it and claimed the domain name because of trademark infringement. When I posted this on WindowsXP.nu it became worldnews, in the tech world at least. A fan even setup a petition which was signed by 9214 people.  Anyway 2 weeks later I transferred the domain to Microsoft, no I did not get 1 million dollars, in fact I paid 10 dollars domain transfer fee. Legally it was the right thing to do, I would not survive in court. 10 years later Microsoft let the domain name expire and now some Swedish company owns it.  You can still access the content of WindowsXP.nu here: http://old.bink.nu/ beware it’s a messy layout and lot of pics are missing, but sure it’s fun to see all that old “newsâ€�   Anyway Windows XP was pretty popular: from September 2003 to July 2011, Windows XP was the most widely used operating system for accessing the internet. As of September 2011, Windows XP market share is at 36.2% after having peaked at 76.1% in January 2007.  Happy Birthday XP

iSCSI Software Target is an optional Windows Server component that provides centralized, software-based and hardware-independent iSCSI disk subsystems in storage area networks (SANs).   The Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 provides storage (disks) over a TCP/IP network. It turns a computer running Windows Server into a storage device which provides shared block storage. You can use Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 to perform a variety of storage-related tasks, including the following:      Provide shared storage for Hyper-V to enable high availability and live migration     Consolidate storage for multiple application servers (i.e. Microsoft SQL Server or Hyper-V)     Provide shared storage for applications hosted on a Windows failover cluster     Enable diskless computers to boot remotely from a single operating system image using iSCSI  The Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 is an economical solution suited for a development or test environment and a small, medium, or branch office production environment. It enables storage consolidation and sharing on a Windows Server by implementing the iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface) protocol, which supports SCSI-block access to a storage device over a TCP/IP network. For details on how to manage iSCSI targets, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg232606(WS.10).aspx  This download package includes the following items:   Root:      x64:             iSCSItarget_public.msi: Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 service component for Windows Server 2008 R2.         iSCSITargetClient_public.msi: Virtual Disk Service (VDS) provider, Volume Snapshot Service (VSS) provider, and high-performance computing (HPC) providers to support diskless boot in HPC clusters.             x86:             iSCSITargetClient_public.msi: VDS provider, VSS provider, and HPC providers to support diskless boot in HPC clusters.            Documentation:             iSCSItarget_Gstart_R2.doc: Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 Getting Started Guide         iSCSI_33_relnotes.doc: Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 Release Notes            Autorun.inf: Automatically starts Index.htm to display install options     Index.html: Main menu page for installing software.     Bkgd-page-servers-dynagrid.jpg: Used by Index.html.     Copyright.jpg: Used by Index.html.     Wsr2logo.bmp: Used by Index.html.  Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - iSCSI Software Target

For example, if you personalize a Web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the site's features that you customized.   You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to use interactive features of this or other Web sites that depend on cookies.   Twitter Authorization    In order for the Site to post updates to a Twitter account on your behalf or display the home timeline for a Twitter account, you will be asked to allow Twitter access for the Site application. If you choose to allow this, the Site will request access to your account from the Twitter service, and you must log in to Twitter and grant access to the Site.  Twitter authorization uses the standard Open Authentication protocol through programming interfaces offered publically by Twitter. The Site does not request your password, and stores only a token provided by the Twitter service. This token does not contain any personally identifiable information. This token is used only to identify operations on your behalf to Twitter.   When you authorize Twitter, the Site may store and present publically-accessible tweets that would appear in your home timeline. The Site will not access, present, or store protected tweets or direct messages.  Changes to this privacy statement  We may occasionally update this privacy statement.
