DW Update...

If you have followed along with this DW dllhost issue you'll know that we have many months and hours into a resolve.

We feel we have traced the problem with the dllhost issue and the latest update that we have seems to be stable:
www.softsphere.com/files/temp/25/dwall.zip

We are still testing and this latest updates puts back features into DW that update #24 doesn't have.

As with troubleshooting you have to backup to the beginning and start adding things back in to determine what feature is causing the problem

We feel we are very close to resolving the dllhost issue, but there is another issue we have been experiencing and it seems to be with memory.

sidenote: IE 11 latest version.

The memory issue is not related to DW at all, it seems to stem from IE itself and starts the question on who truly is to blame for this...

sidenote: Could dllhost issue be isolated to IE...NO, because we had dllhost issue with Chrome as well.

It's simple to assume IE because everybody likes to blame Microsoft for everything, and maybe it is, but it can't be that simple.

We are starting to think that it has something to do with Adobe Flash, however the test is hard to perform because the leak is caused by streaming videos or video related applications.

Without flash installed can make it a little hard to test IE and videos and HTML5 is only fully functional with Chrome.

We have done a little research with this issue and found that we aren't the only one experiencing this problem and they too seem to blame IE and Flash...

Still too early to tell because this memory issue has only recently been causing us an issue.

Fresh Installs and only three plugins being used Flash and 2 XML DOM Documents both loaded by windows.

sidenote: We have disabled XML Dom Doc and still the memory issue persists.

Flash is installed separately and is not installed with Windows.

Adobe really needs to be replaced by someone else and yes there are other alternatives out there, but we are unsure of the security used behind them.

Adobe has been very nice to provide free Adobe Flash for IE and have been doing this for sometime, but free can only go so far before people become unmotivated.

sidenote: Yes we have the latest flash installed ;-)

As for dllhost we are still testing and feel we are on the right track as for the memory increase with IE the testing is just beginning so we lack information.

...the question does persist on this latest Apple issue about storage issues and the possibility that companies are forcing the hand as they say.

Recently Apple has been accused and is being "Sued" for bloating their OS in order to force people to start using the Cloud.

Microsoft has also mentioned that they are getting away from IE altogether which stems the question...are they too beginning to force people to purchase newer products and services.

WELL OF COURSE THEY ARE!!! All resources are being directed towards their new OS and like most Corporate Owners they think that "Money" solves all problems...but it doesn't!

Bill Gates Retired the richest man in America and still is the richest person in America and yet, MS OS is still all jacked up!

Now we are experiencing problems with IE and as they say, "there is no such thing as coincidence"...and that's a fact!

Remember...

"You will see fewer people get involved in decisions and more emphasis on accountability." ...New hires will be made. Processes will be simplified. And if you want to thrive at Microsoft and make a world impact, you and your team must add numerous more changes to this list that you will be enthusiastic about driving." S.N. (Satya Nadella)
