A good article that goes through some of the areas you need to look at in relationship to memory is located at: http://www.eraofdata.com/blog/2008/10/sql-server-memory-configuration/

It seems to come with a bit of bloatware and has office 2007 pre-installed. So farm I have removed:

• Office 2007 + Language Packs – Will install Office 2010
• Trend Micro Security – Will install MS Security Essentials

Ill see how the other applications go before removal.

They keyboard is nice and responsive which is a bonus, I was always dubious hitting the small keys with fat fingers but it seems fine so far.

When deleting content types you need to ensure:

• All items using the type are deleted (and deleted from the recycle bin)
• The Content type is removed from any list using it.
• Any Page Layouts using the type nolonger reference it.

To help track down where the content type is in use the following query will help.

DECLARE @ContentTypeName nvarchar(128)
SET @ContentTypeName='ABCC.CourtCasePage'
SELECT w.Title AS [Web Site], w.FullUrl AS [Web Url], al.tp_Title AS [List Title], ct2.*
FROM ContentTypes ct1
JOIN ContentTypes ct2
      ON LEFT(ct2.ContentTypeId, Len(ct1.ContentTypeId))=ct1.ContentTypeId
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ContentTypeUsage ctu
      ON LEFT(ctu.ContentTypeId, Len(ct2.ContentTypeId)) = ct2.ContentTypeId
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.AllLists al
      ON ctu.ListId = al.tp_Id AND ctu.WebId=al.tp_WebId
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Webs w
      ON al.tp_WebId = w.Id
WHERE ct1.ResourceDir=@ContentTypeName

While playing with Pex I found out a interesting fact that the bool is a byte in the MSIL. Which means that a bool could be euqal to anything on the byte range… Now this would require you to go out of your way and create unsafe code blocks to do this. Why you would do this… No ideas

Its marked as a no-fix which is not supprising as I would not fix it either becase as they say, if you know about this and you use it then you are on your own..

- Fixed issue where focus mode would not take window out of topmost mode.

Changes:

• Added Focus mode which will grey out the background so you just have your toodledo list.
• Updated the hover icons.

To display the Query Builder tab of the Filter dialog box, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and point to Run. In the Run dialog box, type Regedit, and then click OK to launch the Windows Registry Editor.
2. In the Registry tree, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software \Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook.
3. From the Edit menu, select New, and then select Key.
4. In the Key edit box, type QueryBuilder. Regedit will suggest New Key #1, but you should replace that key name with QueryBuilder.

I just used to to work out why VS 2010 was not installing, it turns out it iterates through all the drives on your system including your mapped drives. As I had just been playing with WebDav I had a mapped WebDav drive which was very slow to access. Looking at proc mon I could see straight away what the issue was and I disconnected the drive.
Problem sovled!
