The Correct Way to Install Windows Vista - Video Tutorial

There are a variety of actions associated with the Windows Vista deployment. You can perform a clean install of the operating system or you can upgrade from a previous version of Windows. Also, via a glitch in the deployment process, users are able to use a workaround to do a clean installation of Vista with an upgrade license key.

Additionally, customers are presented with the possibility of using the Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade that allows them to upgrade to a superior version of the operating system. Microsoft has also made available the Windows Automated Installation Kit that permits the installation, customization and deployment of the Windows Vista family of operating system.

Microsoft has revealed the fact that, on average, installing Windows Vista won't take longer than 20-30 minutes, and that this time can be as low as 8 minutes if the user installs an image of the operating system via a Windows Deployment Services server. Additionally, users can acquire systems with Windows Vista preinstalled and dodge the deployment headaches, swapping them for those related to the OEM license.

The Redmond Company has labored restlessly to prepare Vista for the world. And now that the operating system is commercially available, what is the verdict?

Clinical Proteomic Technologies Initiative for Cancer Animated Video Tutorial

Despite recent progress, cancer takes more than a half million American lives each year. In many of these cases, we lost the battle because we detected the enemy far too late. In this feature presentation on Proteomic Technologies and Cancer, we will take a close look at how scientists and physicians are working to identify clinical biomarkers – the molecular signatures that indicate the presence of cancer. These signatures, made up of proteins and other molecules found in patient samples such as blood, will usher in a new approach to medicine based on early detection, and rapid response.

The identification of proteins associated with cancer in the patient will enable us to diagnose and provide treatment even before clinical symptoms appear. The sooner we find the disease, and the sooner we treat it, the greater our chances will be in providing a cure, or enabling the patient to live a longer, productive life. Reading the molecular signatures of cancer could also guide us toward the right combination of therapies that are appropriate to each individual, opening the door to personalized cancer treatment.

But the benefits of this approach will not be realized until we improve the set of advanced technologies used to identify proteins found in patient samples. This set of technologies is called Proteomics. Proteomics is the identification and characterization of the many hundreds of thousands of proteins expressed in an organism or cell type at a given time.
