I was playing around on my server today, and discovered that I could sort drives on "My Computer" by "Total Size"

It classified my 600 GB SATAII RAID5 array as "gigantic".

As far as servers go, I don't consider this array particularily "gigantic".  It's... medium-sized.  Any server over 1 TB, I might consider "Large".  I suppose these tags are in place so as not to anger people.  "What do you mean my new 250 GB drive is small?"  What happens when this OS is looked at in 10 years time?  Every single drive will be "gigantic" to it.

This begs the question: Do these tags vary from XP Home, XP Pro, XP Pro x64, XP MCE, and the different server editions?  These are purely cosmetic tags... so why bother?

I would have stuck to a tag like "[100, 300] GB" or "(0, 50] GB". :)

I wonder also, if there is a category above, "gigantic"?

The Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 is a standalone version of the same ARM based Device Emulator that ships as part of Visual Studio 2005. The standalone emulator is intended for situations when you want to demonstrate or test your application on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2005 installed. In addition, we are offering the Windows Mobile 5.0 MSFP operating system images that you can use with the Device Emulator.

Device Emulator 1.0 has a number of features that make it significantly better than its predecessor (the x86 emulator). You will find that it:

Runs code compiled for ARM processors rather than for x86 processors. In most cases, you can run the same binaries on the emulator as you do on the device.

Supports synchronizing with ActiveSync. You can use the Device Emulator with a full ActiveSync partnership. This feature allows you to debug applications that are syncing, or be able to use real synchronized data from within the Device Emulator.

Provides support for more development environments. The emulator has been tested for developing and debugging applications with Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET 2003, and with eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (eVC4) SP4, all using ActiveSync. No crossover serial cable is required.

The Device Emulator supports GAPI. You can write and debug GAPI games on the Device Emulator and expect them to work.

The command processor CMD.EXE comes with a mini-calculator that can perform simple arithmetic on 32-bit signed integers:

C:\>set /a 2+2 
4 

C:\>set /a 2*(9/2)
8

C:\>set /a (2*9)/2
9

C:\>set /a "31>>2"
7 

Note that we had to quote the shift operator since it would otherwise be misinterpreted as a "redirect stdout and append" operator.

For more information, type set /? at the command prompt.
