4. Look at Legacy Windows Services codebase as hardening of windows services on Vista
5. Understand WOW64 Layer on 64bit Windows Vista OS.
6. Focus on File & Registry Redirection on 64bit Windows Vista(even on 64bit Windows XP)
7. Look at all your legacy Installshield/WindowsInstaller based Installers. They may stop working.

Blogging is about ideas, self-discovery, and growth. This is a small effort to grow outside my comfort zone.
Most important , A Special Thanks to my parents(Sri Ramachandra Rao & Srimathi Nagamani), my wife(Roja), my lovely daughter (Hansini) and son (Harshil) for their inspiration and continuous support in developing this Blog.
... "Things will never be the same again. An old dream is dead and a new one is being born, as a flower that pushes through the solid earth. A new vision is coming into being and a greater consciousness is being unfolded" ... from Jiddu Krishnamurti's Teachings.
Now on disclaimer :
1. Please note that my blog posts reflect my perception of the subject matter and do not reflect the perception of my Employer.
2. Most of the times the content of the blog post is aggregated from Internet articles and other blogs which inspired me. Due respect is given by mentioning the referenced URLs below each post.
Have a great time

Failure is not falling down, it is not getting up again. Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Where there's a Will, there's a Way. Keep on doing what fear you, that is the quickest and surest way to to conquer it.
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
