4 unusual facts about Windows Server 2003


Commit charge

In the Task Manager utility under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the graphical displays labeled as "PF usage" and "Page File Usage History," despite their labels, reflect not the pagefile contents but the total (or current) commit charge.

Marathon Technologies

Marathon Technologies migrated its technology in 2004 to a software-only product named everRun that works with standard off-the-shelf x86 Intel and AMD servers with Windows Server 2003 and unmodified Windows applications.

Power user

In Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Server 2003, there is a "Power Users" group on the system that gives more permissions than a normal restricted user, but stops short of Administrator permissions.

Private Communications Technology

It is still found in IIS and in the Windows operating system libraries, although in Windows Server 2003 it is disabled by default.
