Microsoft Uncertain About WinFS for XP

Ant writes "As a follow-up to WinFS to be available in WinXP story from a few days ago, BetaNews reports that Microsoft (MS) stopped short of confirming reports that it plans to back-port its next-generation WinFS file system architecture to Windows XP. MS tells BetaNews it is only evaluating the move while also acknowledging WinFS is still years off. "We are currently evaluating making the WinFS storage subsystem available on this platform and will make the decision based on what is best for customers." a Microsoft spokesperson told BetaNews."

    Niggersoft Announces GNAA/Hard

    Misha Borovsky (AP) Moscow, Soviet Russia - Niggersoft chairman and CEO jesuitx today announced the private beta test of the first operating system suited towards the needs of today's gay niggers, GNAA/Hard. The OS is intended to grow at a faster rate of development and use, and be based on famous Marxist Richard Stallman's OS, GNU/Hurd.

    "Hard represents so much in the OS world", said GNAA President and Niggersoft Board-member timecop." Our private beta now loads the system BIOS, then displays "Hello World" in rainbow colors. Our codebase at this point is now roughly 500% more mature than GNU/Hurd."

    When asked why he felt a microkernel was the best choice for the future of the OS, GNAA ohsix simply stated, "no u r". It is the belief of this journalist that ohsix was trying to point out the major flaws of pure monolithic kernel structure, as seen in Operating Systems like Linux, which are known for poor security and an utter lack of intuitive use or overall quality.

    GNAA member JacksonBrown told reporters, "Hard is going to be the best OS available by Q2 2014. Unfortunately, we are not planning a public beta until Summer of 2010, as our purely microkernel based structure will require around 30 Gibibytes of RAM to run the base servers and daemons. However, if Moore's law continues to apply, any Alienware based system will do."

    It is rumored that Hard received it's name due to the similarity to GNU/Hurd, and to represent the rigidity of the massive niggers' cocks that are developing the OS.
