In the UK we pay for a TV License that funds the BBC. Its about £109 a year at the moment. Its great value for money. We get 2 analog + 4 digital TV channels. 5 national analog radio stations, local radio stations + 4 digital radio stations. Plus a great website and news service all without advertising. All the imported American shows and films can be shown uninterupted. Some people think its unfair that they have to pay even if they don't watch the BBC or can't get all the digital channels, but I think an publically funded, yet government independant media organisation is a really important part of a democracy.
Why is it that no one understands that Microsofts issues do not come from the NT kernel but from Win32 and it's legacy codebase.
NT was designed from the ground up to include a security model that is actually more fine-grained and comprehensive than a lot of Unix systems.
Its already a multi-user, preemptive multitasking, protected memory, 32 and 64 bit system. What benefit would switching the kernel to Linux or BSD bring?
The security problems come from flaws in the Win32 api, most users and services running with too high a privelege, too many user level features designed without security in mind eg ActiveX, VB Scripting, too many unneeded services running out of the box.
Solve the problems in windows does not require a new kernel, it requires a new api and a serious look at minimizing the potential exploitable surface of the OS. This is what they are already working on with Longhorn.
But only if the code is running with sufficient priveleges to enable it. Using CAS Under the Secure Execution Environment programs will be unable to call into unsafe or unmanaged apis without prompting the user to confirm their trust of the program.

PAE mode is not the same a 64bit. PAE is for 32bit processors that want to be able to access more than 4Gb of memory. Usually you would not enable PAE unless you needed that much memory, such as on a database server. Because the AMD64 must be running in PAE mode for the NX bit to function desktop user will need to use PAE even though they don't have over 4Gb.
Most drivers for consumer equipment are not written to operate in PAE mode, so the HAL is emulating standard 32bit mode in order to ensure compatibility.

If you are running the 64bit version of Windows you will not need to enable PAE as the NX flag is availible in 64bit mode.

A lot of system services share process space with each other. You will have 3 or more svchost processes. To find out which services are safe to disable.
Looks like its on its way. Longhorn has a printer driver for producing XAML files. XAML syntax matches the object model of Avalon the presentation layer. Avalon objects are rendered directly on the graphics card through directx.
It's gonna be a pretty hard job for someone to create a XAML reader than can render complex vector graphics with the same performance as Windows without the platform capabilites underneath.
In the same way as Apple claims to have the fastest PDF renderer, Microsoft will claim to have the fastest XAML renderer.
The new one in SP2 does incoming and outgoing connections, blocks udp and multicast and enables ports on a per-program basis without requiring the program to specifically open or close them. It is also on by default and covers all network interfaces.
I expect they will supply default behaviours that allow their own programs to phone home. But hopefully it is properly configurable so you can decide if you want that or not.
I don't know if it is feature comparable to the third party offerings, but it is significantly improved on the version that shipped with WindowsXP
Stupid MS thing. All their presentations and documents are in self extracting zip packages. I guess they want to prevent users of other OSs reading their precious files.
Well you can run the apps under different user accounts. Either log in as admin to run filemon and run the CD software under your G/Fs account or the other way around.
IF AMD processors die prematurely due to overclocking AND you want your PC to last longer than a couple of months THEN you can buy an AMD processor and DON'T overclock it. Simple?

Ah, that was fucking funny.
I could stay up all night reading this sort of stuff.
Oh wait..
I thinks its already been done.
Isn't that how the time travelling is performed in Timeline?
Not that I've seen the film, I read the book a couple of years ago.

Yay, someone mod this up.
I'm getting so fed up with this "could care less" epidemic.
Don't people even think about what they are saying?

It just might be too little too late.

Thats funny these people have always claimed to have had the first portable MP3 Player on the market.
They had a load of "Out-Takes" at the end of Toy Story 2. How long did they have to run the render farm to produce all of them?

I believe Microsoft is doing this in Longhorn. They are reworking their Cleartype code to use pixels shaders where available.

No this is so developers that use the MSHTML componant can allow their own programs to display popups if they want them to.
