Publication number: 20060064595Abstract: A client computer runs an operating system that executes additional applications by loading them using an application loader and executes device drivers for peripheral devices by loading the drivers using a device loader. The operating system restricts the functionality of the operating system, such as by making selected portions and functionality of the operating system unavailable to the user or by limiting the user's ability to add software applications or device drivers to the computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2005Publication date: March 23, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Feinleib, Carl Gulledge, Wassef Haroun, Joachim Kempin, Kurt Kolb, Brian Moran, Edward Stubbs, Jacob Swed

Publication number: 20050193122Abstract: A client computer collects registration information and uploads the collected information to one or more remote registration databases. The collection and/or uploading of registration information for multiple manufacturers is performed in a unified manner, improving the user-friendliness of the computer. According to one aspect of the invention, a single user interface is used to collect the registration information for all of the manufacturers, preventing the same question from being asked multiple times. According to another aspect of the invention, a multiple posting method is used to upload the registration information to the registration databases. In the multiple posting method, a single network communication link is established between the client computer and a network that the registration databases are coupled to, via which multiple client computer to registration database connections are established.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2005Publication date: September 1, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Feinleib, Carl Gulledge, Kenneth Moss, Autumn Neault

Publication number: 20050108409Abstract: A client computer collects registration information regarding a user and/or the client computer and attempts to upload the collected information to a remote registration system. The client computer stores the registration information locally and delays uploading of the information to the registration system until a connection to the registration system is established. The connection to the registration system and the uploading of the registration information can be performed automatically and transparently to the user, eliminating the need for any further required actions on the part of the user once the registration information is collected.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Feinleib, Carl Gulledge, Brian Moran, Kenneth Moss, Autumn Neault
