Microsoft Giving SMB2 Talks At SambaXP

Posted by kdawson on from the pinch-me dept.

Jeremy Allison - Sam writes "I'm not much for writing blog entries, but I thought Slashdot readers might like to know that Microsoft architects and testers are attending SambaXP and have been giving some wonderful talks on how the protocol document testing works, and on the design of SMB2 in order to work well on WAN links. Really interesting technical stuff. Pinch me, I'm back in 1994 and things are really fun again :-)."

      Thats because the US SMB2 was not a "Mario" game. It was a rebadged game called "Doki Doki Panic".

      The FDS game images exist on the net, as japanese reading comprehension needed is nil. And as expected, Doki is tougher.

      Here's a link of differences along with the rom link here. No US SMB2 rom to compare. That'd be illegal :P

    I came here thinking I could post an easy Mario Bros joke, but it seems a gazillion Sexdecillion other /. readers thought the same, so i'll just go with a Dassault Super Mystere B2 instead.
