Longhorn's Windows Graphics Foundation Examined
Matt J writes "Dave Salvator at ExtremeTech goes over some of the graphics designs for Longhorn. 'David Blythe of the DirectX development team gave a very interesting talk about the upcoming 3D graphics architecture in Longhorn, the next major revision of Windows. Called Windows Graphics Foundation (WGF), this new architecture will usher in some major changes to how 3D graphics operations get handled by Longhorn. These changes extend well beyond Longhorn's Avalon technology, which will render the Windows Desktop using a GPU's 3D graphics processing power rather than the traditional 2D blitter. WGF will instead define the core 3D operations themselves.'"

Someone is a right-wing moron if they disagree with the tactics of Michael Moore? That's rather absolutist.
This is off-topic but I had to respond.
Wow, if you weren't posting AC and if I had some mod points, you'd get some serious modding up from me.
So what's Slashdots excuse for this colour scheme, it would insite anyone to hate anything.
"I use a Mac because I'm just better than you are."
And amazingly, both Microsoft and Apple have color schemes that look far better than this disgusting RADIOACTIVE BEIGE OF THE END TIMES. down with the IT section!
Somebody needs to switch to decaf.
that's a very handy trick to get away from the hard on the eyes color scheme here.
The World's Worst Webcomic!
The scores are for the readers, not the posters, dumbass. If you want people to see it, moderate it up.
Eh. You really think that the moderators here are capable of understanding this?
to get rid of color scheme: remove it from the link. I.E.: it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=203975204375upowiu to
slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=203975204375upowiu
Voila!

Thanks... that's horribly useful. Is there some way maybe to automate this? Like set up the hosts file to say it.slashdot.org -> slashdot.org or something?
Welcome to the world of computers.
My signature doesn't suck. You just love Michael Moore so much that it pisses you off someone dares point out all of his lies. The man even COMPLETELY FAKED a newspaper headline from the Pantagraph. In the film, a newspaper headline is shown declaring that Gore won the election. If you view the actual issue of the paper cited in the movie, guess what it actually was? A LETTER TO THE EDITOR ON THE OPINION PAGE.
Michael Moore retyped it, made the title much larger, and displayed it in a way to make it appears as a large front-page hard news article, when it was actually someone's opinion letter on the letters page. Geez...
Even the DNC wants to distance itself from Michael Moore. That should tell you something. Yes, I've seen the "Kopel lies" page, and it was ridiculous and hardly addressed anything. I could also link you to the lies in Bowling for Columbine (complete with spliced speeches a year apart...Heston's tie changes midway through), but it doesn't matter to you. If the conservative right put out a documentary that actually changed people's speeches and made up false newspaper articles and so on, you'd be all over it. But when ultra-liberal Michael Moore does it...strangely, you find it okay. Revel in your bias. Doesn't matter to me.
Actually, I think he needs to start drinking. Heavily.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
