More Insight On Longhorn's Avalon And Aero Design
Lispy writes "While monitoring the Xorg mailinglist I came across this set of WinHEC PPT-presentations (work fine in OOorg) that cover some interesting details on the underlying architecture of Aero, Aero Glass and future font rendering in Microsoft's upcoming Longhorn OS. What does the Slashdot crowd think about the overall design and its downsides, such as power consumption on notebooks?" (KPresenter works fine, too, btw.)
Would a small hammer be better for your computer?
Anyway, I'd rather prefer taking a font editor and looking into the font files themselves - perhaps the error lies in there, not in the OS itself.
I'm sure that trying to run Longhorn on my current Win computer would be like hitting it with a very large hammer. (I wonder if they delayed the release to wait for Moore's law to catch up?)
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
