Windows 7: Optimizing Applications for Remote File Services over the WAN
Windows 7 introduces many improvements designed to improve the file access experience for mobile users and users in branch offices. In this session, we introduce fundamental changes to the opportunistic locking model, discuss the various caching mechanisms, and explain how to ensure that your applications benefit from them. Hear about common programming patterns that lead to unnecessary network roundtrips and end-user delays. Learn how to write network-friendly applications that are WAN and branch ready.
