Advantages of Windows 2003
1. Domains can be renamed or moved to a different level in an AD tree.
2. Schema attributes can be deleted as well as added.
3. Any Domain Controller can cache the Global Catalog thus preventing user logon problems if no Global Catalog server is available.
4. AD Replication can be set not to use compression.
5. Cross-Forest Transitive Trusts can be created.
6. Many administrative tools allow drag-and-drop and there are more configuration and management wizards.
7. Most services are disabled by default in 2003 instead of enabled as in Windows 2000.2003
allows partial synchronizations of the Global Catalog 2000 had always to have full synchronizations.
8. Support for IPv6. Ping and Tracert have extra IPv6 options.
9. Supports XML web services.
10. A new service called Volume Shadow Copy takes periodic snapshots of a hard drive making it easier to take backups and recover deleted files. Users can even be allowed to recover previous versions of files by themselves by using the Previous Versions client.
11. A Global Catalog server can be built from backup media instead of by replication.
12. IPSec Nat Traversal – NAT-T – allows IPSec VPN clients and servers to pass through NAT firewalls. This is likely to lead to the wider adoption of L2TP VPNs.
13. Distributed File System DFS has had significant improvements made to it. For example DFS replicas can now be prestaged to avoid excessive initial file replication.
14. Multiple DFS Roots per server can be created (Enterprise and Datacenter editions only).
15. Print queue redundancy can be achieved by storing them on multiple servers.
16. Active Directory Migration Tool v.2.0 can now migrate users, computers, groups and passwords from an NT domain and can also perform the cross-forest migration of objects.
17. Terminal Server allows clients to map their local drives and printers
18. The FTP server allows different default directories to be assigned to different users.
19. There’s a Security Configuration and Analysis tool to check a server’s security settingsDNS AD-integrated zones are stored in the Application Partition of a forest so aren’t replicated to domain controllers which aren’t DNS servers.
20. Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe have been amalgamated into a single utility which takes the best features of each. Both files still exist but run the same utility.
21. The DNS server has added flexibility with the new options of stub zones and conditional forwarding.
22. Internet Information Server 6 (IIS 6) has the ability to keep worker processes from different websites and web applications separate so that if one application crashes then other websites running on the same server remain unaffected.
…IIS SMTP not available in IIS Snap-in-
Please make sure IIS SMTP is installed in the server. If you find it’s installed but not visible in IIS Snap-in can be fixed by registering the dll using this code-
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\smtpsnap.dll
or
regsrv32 %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\smtpsnap.dll
Once done IIS SMTP virtual server node will be listed in IIS Snap-in.
…12 Best things to say if you are caught sleeping at ur desk-
#12. I’m in the management training program. I’m actually doing a Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan (SLEEP) that I learned at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend.
#11. I wasn’t sleeping. I was trying to pick up my contact lens without hands.
#10. They told me at the blood bank this might happen.
#9. This is just a 15-minute power nap like they raved about in that time-management course you sent me to.
#8. Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out. You probably got here just in time.
#7. I wasn’t sleeping. I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm.
#6. I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance.
#5. I was doing a highly specific yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminating against people who practice yoga?
#4. Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our company’s biggest problem.
#3. The coffee machine is broken…
#2. Someone must have put decaf in the wrong pot…
And the #1 best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk:
#1. And, finally, I pray for the future of our company. Amen.

Blue – Rahman’s Bluish composition
Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai – Though Sukhwinder Singh had done a good job but it’s Shreya scored well with her cool voice and Rahman for his piano tunes.
Bhoola tujhe – Cool melody by Rashid Ali and hunky violin tones in the background which keeps you listen again and again.
Blue Theme – Blaaze, Raqeeb Alam, Sonu Kakkar, Jaspreet Singh, Neha Kakkar, Dilshad. It’s drummer Sivamani’s excellent turn. Surely it will pumps up your adrenaline and keeps you listen again and again.
Chiggy wiggy – Aussie pop icon Kylie Minogue’s voice is metallic and it’s her first song in indian cinema. Indian western type.
Fiqrana – A different beat with many instrumental tones in the background.
Rehnuma – Peculiar Rahmanish tune with Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. Likable and lovely.
Yaar mila tha – Typical folk number by Udit Narayan and Madhushree. Nothing different.
Enjoy!!

…Never compromise your values and beliefs,
even if it means riksing ridicule and rejection.
Be true to yourself.
Live your own life.
and don’t allow others
to decide what is best for you.
If you do you will be unhappy
because you are untrue to yourself.

…A girl talking to her Boy by the roadside-
Girl: Do I ever cross your mind?
Boy: No…
Girl: Do you like me?
Boy: Not really…
Girl: Do you want me?
Boy: Nope
Girl: Would you cry if I left?
Boy: Hell No…
Girl: Would you live for me?
Boy: Of coz no…
Girl: Would you do anything for me?
Boy: No…
Girl: What would you choose: your life…or me?
Boy: I choose My Life
The girl runs away with such shock and pain in her heart but the boy run after her and shouted loudly….
“The reason you never cross my mind is because you’re always on my mind…
The reason why I don’t like you is because I love you…
The reason I don’t want you is because I need you…
The reason I wouldn’t cry if you left is because I would die if you left me…
The reason wouldn’t live for you is because I would die for you…
The reason why I’m not willing to do anything for you is because I would do everything for you…
The reason I chose my life is because you ARE my life…”
…Ever seen Tom cruise starrer Speilberg’s ‘Minority Report’ where he manipulated images and other things on screen through his little device, projector, tags in his fingers and a glowing black gloves? Well, this has come to reality. Invented by Pranav mistry, indian researcher at Fluid Interfaces Group, MIT Media Lab. This little device is ‘Sixth sense’ called Wear Ur World(WUW), that can seamlessly channel Internet information into daily routines. Although the miniaturization of computing devices allows us to carry computers in our pockets, keeping us continually connected to the digital world, there is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world. Information is confined traditionally on paper or digitally on a screen. SixthSense bridges this gap, bringing intangible, digital information out into the tangible world, and allowing us to interact with this information via natural hand gestures. ‘SixthSense’ frees information from its confines by seamlessly integrating it with reality, and thus making the entire world your computer.
The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user’s hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tip of the user’s fingers using simple computer-vision techniques. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The maximum number of tracked fingers is only constrained by the number of unique fiducials, thus SixthSense also supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction. For example, the SixthSense system implements a gestural camera that takes photos of the scene the user is looking at by detecting the ‘framing’ gesture. The user can stop by any surface or wall and flick through the photos he/she has taken. SixthSense also lets the user draw icons or symbols in the air using the movement of the index finger and recognizes those symbols as interaction instructions. For example, drawing a magnifying glass symbol takes the user to the map application or drawing an ‘@’ symbol lets the user check his mail. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the user’s wrist projects an analog watch.
This is not much popular in India. Either our universal hero Kamal Haasan or mega budget director Shankar can try this in their upcoming films to create popularity

Pricing??? $20000, $30000??? nah, it’s just $350
Clips from Minority Report-
…Do not dare laugh!!!
In U.S. they invented a machine that catches thieves they took it out to different countries for a test.
In U.S.A, in 30 minutes, it caught 20 thieves
In UK, in 30 minutes it caught 50 thieves
Spain, in 30 minutes it caught 65 thieves
Ghana, in 30 minutes it caught 600 thieves
India, in 15 minutes the machine was stolen.
I thought I told you not to laugh!!!
…A wife’s poem-
He didn’t like the curry
And he didn’t like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard…
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn’t prepare the coffee right
He didn’t like the stew,
I didn’t mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Isn’t there anything I could do
To match his mothers shoe
Then I smiled as I saw light
One thing I could definitely do
I turned around
and slapped him tight
Like his mother used to!!!!

…
A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, another customer walked in and said to the shopkeeper, “I’ll have a C monkey please.”
The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the shop and took out a monkey. He fit a collar and leash, handed it to the customer, saying, that’ll be $5000.” The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.
Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, “That was a very expensive monkey. Why did it cost so much?”
The shopkeeper answered, “Ah, that monkey can program in C very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money.”
The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. “That one’s even more expensive! $10,000!What does it do?”
“Oh, that one’s a C++ monkey; it can manage object- oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java. All the really useful stuff,” said the shopkeeper.
The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in a cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read $50,000. He gasped to the shopkeeper, “That one costs more than all the other put together! What on earth does it do?”
The shopkeeper replied, “Well, I haven’t actually seen it doing anything, but the other monkeys call him the project manager .”
