Abstract: An infrastructure that allows applications to run with specified versions of dependent assemblies, wherein each assembly may exist and run side-by-side on the system with other versions of the same assembly being used by other applications. An application provides a manifest to specify any desired assembly versions on which it is dependent. Similarly, each assembly may have an assembly manifest that specifies the versions of assemblies on which it is dependent. During an initialization phase, an activation context is created for the application, based on the manifests, to map version independent names to a particular assembly version maintained on the system. While the application is in a running phase, for any globally named object that the application wants created, the activation context is accessed to locate the application's or assembly's manifest-specified version. The manifests and activation context constructed therefrom thus isolate an application from assembly version changes.

Abstract translation: 允许应用程序使用指定版本的依赖程序集运行的基础架构，其中每个程序集可能存在并且并行运行在系统上，而其他应用程序正在使用同一程序集的其他版本。 应用程序提供了一个清单，用于指定所依赖的任何所需的程序集版本。 类似地，每个程序集可能具有一个程序集清单，它指定它所依赖的程序集的版本。 在初始化阶段期间，基于清单为应用程序创建激活上下文，以将独立于版本的名称映射到系统上维护的特定程序集版本。 当应用程序处于运行阶段时，对于应用程序想要创建的任何全局命名对象，访问激活上下文以查找应用程序或程序集的清单指定版本。 因此，由此构建的清单和激活上下文将应用程序与组装版本更改隔离。

Abstract: Software programs, such as an operating system or other application programs, are automatically customized to a specific user(s) based on data corresponding to the specific user(s) that is maintained in a user information store. In one embodiment, the information store is a unified store that is accessible by multiple programs including the operating system. Thus, new information or information changes can be made available to multiple programs by the user adding (or changing) the information only once. In another embodiment, the operating system image to be installed on a computer is pre-populated with user-specific information at the factory. The user-specific information can be integrated into the operating system at the factory or alternatively upon an initial boot of the computer by the user.

Abstract: A method, system and infrastructure that allow an application to run with specified versions of assemblies bound thereto, while allowing the application author, assembly publisher and/or an administrator to change the originally-specified version as desired. Each assembly may exist and run side-by-side on the system with other versions of the same assembly being used by other applications. An application manifest specifies any desired assembly versions, which may be redirected to another version (overridden) by an application configuration. A publisher configuration provided by an assembly publisher can similarly override the specified version. Lastly, an administrator configuration is capable of overriding other configuration versioning information. A table built from the manifest and any configuration redirection may be accessed during execution to quickly locate the appropriate version. The various configuration data structures themselves may be wrapped as assemblies, thereby enabling versioning of configurations.

Abstract: A computer system includes an object oriented framework that provides a set of application integration interfaces that support programmatic updating operations for maintaining locally stored copies of resources such as hypertext document pages from remote servers on a computer network. The updating operations continually check for updates to the data at the remote server and download updated versions of the resources to maintain concurrency of the locally stored copy. The updating operations are performed while a connection to the remote network is left idle, to maximize usage of on-line connection time. The updating operations also can be programmatically scheduled by a client program of the updating operations. The updating operations include updating the contents of a folder or directory in a local file system as specified in a file at a remote server on the network, and providing automatically updating and populating groups of sites or document pages organized by category.

Abstract: Methods, systems and data structure are described for implementing local isolated DLL and/or COM components. A version of a shared component is stored in a local directory with an application that uses that particular version. Another version of the shared component exists on the system and is useable by any number of other computer programs. A local file is created in the local directory that indicates the presence of an isolated version of the shared component. When the application calls the shared component, the system uses the isolated version of the shared component stored locally with the application program. Thus, specific versions of components may be provided to a calling application without making any code changes to the calling application or to the component to which the calling application is bound.

Abstract: An operating system combines preemptive scheduling with cooperative or non-preemptive scheduling. In particular, tasks are divided into groups of interdependent tasks. Each group includes tasks that should not be run a synchronously relative to each other. The scheduler in the operating system provides each group with a time slot of processor time. The tasks within the group are cooperatively scheduled to exploit the time slot assigned to the group. Dependencies between modules and tasks are maintained to assure that no difficulties arise amongst preemptively scheduled groups.

Abstract: A method and system for reducing context switches when distributing input to applications are provided. When input is received, it is stored in a system input queue. A system thread distributes the input stored in the system input queue to appropriate thread input queues. Before the system thread can execute code to process system input, the system thread must obtain ownership of a synchronization mechanism. To eliminate unnecessary context switches, the operating system determines whether the synchronization mechanism is already owned before scheduling the system thread to execute and performing a context switch from the context of the currently executing thread to the context of the system thread. If the synchronization mechanism is not already owned, the system thread is granted ownership and distributes the input stored in the system input queue to the appropriate thread input queues. If the synchronization mechanism is already owned, the thread that already owns the synchronization mechanism distributes the input stored in the system input queue to the appropriate thread input queues.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种在向应用程序分发输入时减少上下文切换的方法和系统。 当接收到输入时，它被存储在系统输入队列中。 系统线程将存储在系统输入队列中的输入分配到适当的线程输入队列。 在系统线程可以执行代码来处理系统输入之前，系统线程必须获得同步机制的所有权。 为了消除不必要的上下文切换，操作系统在调度系统线程执行并执行从当前执行的线程的上下文到系统线程的上下文之间的上下文切换之前，确定同步机制是否已经拥有。 如果同步机制尚未拥有，系统线程将被授予所有权，并将存储在系统输入队列中的输入分配给相应的线程输入队列。 如果同步机制已经拥有，则已拥有同步机制的线程将存储在系统输入队列中的输入分配到适当的线程输入队列。
