Microsoft Corp. is working on a significant new feature for Windows Vista, known as Restart Manager, which is designed to update parts of the operating system or applications without having to reboot the entire machine.
Ca leur a prit 10ans avant de commencer a comprendre que c'est chiant rebooter a chaque $?/#%?/$ d'update sale...
Ouin mais depuis que j'ai mon serveur linux...bon c nu mandrake 10 là...mais je realise que c pas si merveilleux...ca arrive qui chie des tac quand ca fait un mois qu'il a pas rebooté...je sais pas pkoi mais c tjrs l'$?/#%?/$ de clavier qui chie en premier...genre je tappe pi ca fait des caratere batard au lieu des lettre...tk des ptits bug gossant qui se corrige avec un reboot...
Mais bon j'avoue que linux ont bin de l'avance sur bin des choses par rapport a windows...des fois je me dit que si yavait pas eu de MAC surement que tous les gars de mac serait sous linux...quand on pense a la stabilité, au fait que linux faisait du dual screen bin avant windows (asser utile pour des graphiste ou bin des monteurs video)...on va faire fondre tous les mac de la terre pour voir ce que le monde vont faire!
Un geek c'est quelqu'un qui pense que dans 1km il y a 1024m!
TechWorld is running an article saying that Vista's graphics will not be in the kernel. The goal is obviously to improve reliability, alongside the plan to make most drivers run in user mode." From the article: "The shift of the UI into user mode also helps to make the UI hardware independent - and has already allowed Microsoft to release beta code of the UI to provide developers with early experience. IT also helps make it less vulnerable to kernel mode malware that could take the system down or steal data. In broader terms, this makes Windows far more like Linux and Unix - and even the MacOS - where the graphics subsystem is a separate component, rather than being hard-wired into the OS kernel."
TechWorld is reporting that Microsoft plans to move graphics outside of the Windows Vista kernel by pulling the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF, formerly codenamed "Avalon") out of the Vista kernel. We asked Microsoft for clarification. Here's the official statement: "Because WPF is largely written in managed code on the common language runtime, it never ran in kernel mode. There are elements of WPF (called the MIL) that are written in unmanaged code, but that code also largely runs (and always has run) in user mode. Insofar as WPF needs to touch kernel mode stuff (e.g., drivers), it interacts with them through the existing DirectX APIs. The user mode and kernel mode aspects of the WPF architecture haven't changed," a Microsoft spokesman told us. And nothing has changed in terms of Microsoft's plans for delivering WPF as an integrated part of Vista, the spokesman added.
