  11. Tivo would be a cool thing if the cable co did... on The Trouble With TiVo · · Score: 1

    more for people with cable cards as people with them can't use VOD, PPV and the guide data from the cable co and they don't even work that well. Right Now in a SVD system they will not work.
    Also the cable co. DVR can download it's updates over the cable line with needing a cat5 cable, wifi link, or phone line hooked up to it. We need a open cable card system that can send 2 data ways, give you a guide and the cards need to free or have a very low cost as some times you pay just much as you for box for them and at least with a cable co box they must replace it when it brakes.

  21. In windows 7 Unsigned code will be locked down.... on Preventing Another Vista-like Release With Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    In windows 7 Unsigned code will be locked down in a sandbox.

    M$ has said they are working a kind of VM like set that will sandbox all unsigned code for the next mayor release of windows as well as fully redone UI.

    First of all if they are this alot of people will dump windows for mac or linux at that point and / or there may be a lot of anti Trust lawsuits.

    also fully redoing the UT / forcing unsigned code to be locked down will brake so many apps that Up take of this will be a lot slower then Vista slow up take.

    Unsigned code and antitrust lawsuits do have connection if you have to pay to get singed code and only m$ can say what gets signed. M$ is doing this right now some types of drivers for vista.

    Some of the major programs vender's may come out and say you want a singed code BUY the new vision.
    Also this code signing may force a major rewrite to want ever ms wants like singed code must be .Net or some thing like that.
    also code signing is bad of open and free software even more so if MS wants you to pay for it like they do with some of the vista drivers.
    Sand boxing may end braking a lot of old apps and code making people that need to use is house apps and older apps less like to move to a new version of windows cutting out the old UI will do the same thing as well.

    Also running old apps in VM may lead to high ram use and lots of space need to pull it off. As you likely will have to run 2 full os 1 for all of your older win 32 / win 64 / old .NET / old UI apps and one for your new windows code with the new UI.

    This will be the time of apple to come out with MAC os for ALL x86 systems or a lot of people will just go out and buy it and then hack it to run on there hardware.

    running VISTA + anti virus + background apps with rendering / cad or video work can tax a system even more so with some of carp that some schools make you run on your system can tax it.

    Games are a other thing that can push systems also it not just the cpu that gets taxed in is also the ram, IO , hard disks , network, video and so on.
