Dog and Pony Show
Dog and pony show was a colloquial term
used to refer to small traveling circuses.
The name derives from the typical use of
performing dogs and ponies as the main
attractions of the events.
The term has come to mean any type of
presentation or display that is somewhat
pathetically contrived or overly intricate, or
put on for purposes of gaining approval for
a program, policy, etc.

 Easier for students to find information located in many
different places
○ SharePoint sites
○ Learning Platform
○ Intranet
○ Web – either the whole web, or pre-selected sites
○ File Shares
○ Local PC
 Makes finding resources for assignments and teaching
far simpler

• Gartner “Dataquest Insight: PC Forecast Analysis, Worldwide,
1H08” 18 April 2008, Mikako Kitagawa, George Shiffler III
• Data protected on internal drives
and removable storage
• Mandate the use of encryption with
Group Policies
• Store recovery information in Active
Directory for manageability
• Simplify BitLocker setup and
configuration of primary hard drive
Application Control
Situation Today
AppLocker
• Users can install and run
unapproved applications
• Even standard users can install
some types of software
• Unauthorized applications may:
•
•
•
•
Introduce malware
Increase helpdesk calls
Reduce user productivity
Undermine compliance efforts
• Eliminate unwanted/unknown
applications in your network
• Enforce application standardization
within your organization
• Easily create and manage flexible
rules using Group Policy
Remote Campus Network Performance
Situation Today
BranchCache
• Application and data access over
WAN is slow in branch offices
• Slow connections hurt user
productivity
• Improving network performance is
expensive and difficult to
implement
• Caches content downloaded from
file and Web servers
• Users in the branch can quickly
open files stored in the cache
• Frees up network bandwidth for
other uses
Remote Access for Mobile Users
Situation Today
DirectAccess
Office
Home
• Difficult for users to access
corporate resources from outside
the office
• Challenging for IT to manage,
update, patch mobile PCs while
disconnected from company
network
Office
Home
• New network paradigm enables same
experience inside & outside the office
• Seamless access to network
resources increases productivity of
mobile users
• Infrastructure investments also make
it easy to service mobile PCs and
distribute updates and polices
Application Compatibility
 Builds
on Vista
 Tools
 XP
Mode
Building on Vista
Deployments, pilots, and testing will continue to pay off
Similar Compatibility:
•
•
Most software that runs on Windows Vista will run on Windows 7
Exceptions will be low level code (AV, Firewall, Imaging)
Hardware that runs Windows Vista well will run Windows 7 well
Few Changes: Focus on quality and reliability improvements
Deep Changes: New models for security, drivers, deployment,
and networking

 Obtain vendor support statements and Logo data from
Compatibility Exchange
 Recommendations for fixing applications & websites
(IE8)
 Tools to apply compatibility fixes or “shims” to
applications
 Detection of Windows Mail depreciation
