Principled Technologies, Inc.: Performance on Microsoft Windows

Vista of Intel vPro technology-based and AMD processor-based PCs

in common business scenarios

Application scenarios

We chose five scenarios that involve common office applications, predictive modeling and business intelligence

tasks, and new features of the Windows Vista Aero user interface. Three of the scenarios involve Microsoft Office

2007 applications, two of which focus on Microsoft Office Excel 2007 tasks. A fourth scenario employs Intuit

QuickBooks Pro 2006, an application common in small and medium businesses. The final scenario includes

subjective quality assessments of how well each PC delivered on Windows Vista user interface capabilities. Some

scenarios involve a single task, while others involve multiple tasks running at the same time. In the multitasking

scenarios, we time both the foreground task (FG), which is typically a function that users initiate and wait for the

system to complete, and the background task (BG), which is usually a function users start and then leave to run

while they do other work.

Communications and collaboration scenario: Opening a compressed Outlook message

attachment, an XML file, in Microsoft Word 2007 while a Microsoft Groove 2007

workspace synchronization runs

Sheila Craig, an IT manager, is working on an internal audit of the systems at the Acme Academics grading

center. She has Microsoft Outlook running on her PC so she can receive an email she is expecting from her co-

worker, Jenny. Sheila checks her email and sees that Jenny has sent her the file she needs to study. The file is

an XML document that shows the advantages of some of the system upgrades Jenny is recommending for the

grading center. At the same time, someone has added a large group of files to the IT department’s Microsoft

Groove workspace. While Sheila is opening the attached zip file, Groove begins to automatically synchronize her

machine with the workspace. While the Groove synchronization runs in the background, Sheila opens Jenny’s

XML document in Word to study its contents.

We timed:

• the XML file open (FG) from when Sheila presses Enter to open the attached XML file until the file

open completes

• the Microsoft Groove sync (BG) from when Microsoft Office Groove 2007 launches until the content

sync countdown disappears

Viewing a set of memorized reports in Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2006

Mark Owens is in charge of examining the books of a company, Rock Castle Construction, that his firm is

interested in acquiring. He instructs his accountant to go through Rock Castle Construction’s Intuit QuickBooks

data file and prepare multiple memorized reports for him to review. When Mark receives the QuickBooks file from

his accountant, he loads the file onto his system. He then opens the set of memorized reports to view Rock

Castle’s overall performance since its inception.

We timed:

• the appearance of the Intuit QuickBooks Pro 2006 reports from when Mark clicks Display until all the

report windows are open

Recalculating business revenue using Microsoft Office Excel 2007

Brian Corcoran is a forensic accountant investigating a failed business that is the plaintiff in a shareholder class-

action suit. He is examining the original spreadsheet the business used to estimate revenues over five years of its

telecommunications services. The spreadsheet calculates revenues based on the number of T1 trunks and

customers and the penetration of voice, call management, and multimedia services. Brian recalculates the Excel

spreadsheet to see how the various models it employs compare to the actual revenues of the company.

We timed:

• the Microsoft Excel 2007 calculation from when Brian presses F9 in Excel to start the recalculation

until the recalculation percentage indicator reached 100 percent and closed
