SDI (A specification according to which each open document occupies its own window in the UI, though only a single instance of the program application is running) |
|
|
| comp., MS |
SSPI (A common interface between transport-level applications, such as Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and security support providers (SSPs), such as Windows Distributed Security. SSPI allows a transport application to call one of the SSPs to obtain an authenticated connection. These calls do not require extensive knowledge of the security protocol's details) |

UEFI (A standard programming interface for setting up and booting a computer, based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) developed by Intel. It provides runtime services, which are used to access the drivers that were loaded in the pre-boot environment. For example, when booting from a network, the operating system can continue to use the same network protocols used to download it in the first place); Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (A standard programming interface for setting up and booting a computer, based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) developed by Intel. It provides runtime services, which are used to access the drivers that were loaded in the pre-boot environment. For example, when booting from a network, the operating system can continue to use the same network protocols used to download it in the first place) |

Windows Media Author (A graphical interface tool for creating and testing illustrated audio. The tool is designed to combine and synchronize audio and image files. Using it, the author can manage objects-sounds, images, and URLs-so that they appear at the correct time during playback. This tool uses technology from Digital Renaissance, Inc) |

WSD (A common programming interface to the lower-level system area network (SAN) implementations, developed by Microsoft. WSD sits underneath the standard WinSock application programming interface (API), but bypasses the kernel networking layers to talk directly to the SAN hardware. Because WSD sits underneath the existing WinSock API, IT departments can deploy applications in a SAN environment without modifying the applications) |

CAPI (An (API) that is provided as part of Microsoft Windows. CryptoAPI provides a set of functions that allow applications to encrypt or digitally sign data in a flexible manner while providing protection for the user's sensitive private key data. Actual cryptographic operations are performed by independent modules known as (CSPs)) |
