Abruptly, MS comes in with that *console wannabe* superhyperhichtech with objects and all that shit that no one will know how to use it. Unix/Linux had the best available console for so many years. “Can linux do object piping on the console instead of just text piping?” will they learn to satisfy MS ego and marketing policies? But do you really think that XAML will get developers support? There are still a lot of developers using VB5, VB6 and the ones that are just getting into. “Does linux have anything like XAML? Assuming you even know the capabilities of XAML.” “Where’s hardware accelerated composited desktop on linux that doesn’t require you to set it up yourself and is stable? Does it support pixel shaders like Avalon does (hence the frosted glass look) or just per-pixel transparency?”Ĭan’t you just wait 2 years? Anyway, do we really need to see special effects on our desktops too? I want a simple to use desktop environment, I don’t need it to make me go blind.
Do you think Linux will stay stagnant for (+-)2 years? But Vista will put it back ahead for the most part.”
“Yes, Windows has fallen behind Linux a little on the desktop. I look forward to the beta 2 release, which (if the pundits are correct about the amount of money spent) should be a step towards a very competitive Windows release. I’ve had chance to use the beta, and for what its worth, I can’t see or “feel” any difference to XP over and above the marketed new “features”. I look forward to seeing how well this LUA approach a) is met by the Joe User public, and b) improves the worms and virii situation that plagues an otherwise powerful and useful OS. This is one thing I have always admired about Linux – the not running as root issue is obvious (why cause more damage than you need to) – but transferring the concept of a limited user for day-to-day tasks in Vista must have been very difficult Windows apps are just not built for that. With regards security, its great they’re finally taking the “sudo” approach. I for one feel this change is too much of a reduction, as users are becoming more and more competent with the black/beige box they use for surfing and email. With Vista, Microsoft have shifted their focus to security and a more minimal, simplistic approach. How well that improvement is received is a completely different kettle of fish.
Did you not catch the “Next Page” link?Īll in all, Vista will be an improvement over XP. I read several pages, all about Vista, privacy, security, conceptual changes, Longhorn Server and WinFS beta release. Well the first half of the “article” (which is only a page long)
