Windows System Performance Through Cachingis a preview of my book of the same title.

And Then There Was Poweris a walk through the Windows boot process.

Inside the Microsoft OS: Perceived Performance and Virtual Machines is the second of two sessions I did on Perceived Performance.  This is all about measuring end-to-end performance from a User's perspective in the server based computing world.  In the session I describe how I measure Perceived Performance, as well as results from testing terminal servers.  This session also extends the discussion to look at what happens when you put the terminal server in a VM, such as one might do using VmWare or Microsoft Virtual Server.  The video is about 60 minutes.

Inside the Microsoft OS: When Applications go Bad is a two part video; each part runs around 60 minutes. These sessions look at a variety of poorly behaved applications and how they affect system performance. Part 1 focuses on CPU issues and part 2 on Memory issues.
