Re: Duncan Lawler - Virtual Earth 3D: What. How. Why.

AIM48 — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 04:38:00 GMT

Hmmm... so many possibilites.

Once the controler model is exposed there would be so much you can do -

For example - a real autoracing game - race thru the REAL streets of the city.

Or a controler that has real aerodynamics built in...

And if the 3d models on the map support hit testing... You'd be able to detect collisions with buildings around the airport etc...

Regarding the Hypervisor architecture.

Do you install a specialized HAL (like you do for different bus architectures) if setup detects that it is installing on a pacifica platform. I would assume that cramming both a "enlightend" and a standard kernel into the whole code pipeline would make for some inefeciencies.

-- EDIT --> Answered in the video.

I don't understnad if I have hardware that has a 5% utilization rate then just add more apps to this server instance itself - instead of loping off another x percent for the virtualization software to run an entire new instance of the OS?

The resources used are anyways going to the same actual hardware weather the source is an app running on the real os or a virtualized machine.

Unless we are talking about reliability (don't want the PDC running on the Web server )- is that it?

Whats about managment - When you are running 8 partitions on a hyper visor - is there one master partition? (I guess an especially "enlightend" partition)

Would it have access to the other partitions (for example show virtual cpu utilization or screen shots like you have in the current VPC)

If it does have access does that mean that if I break the master partition then I can control the others

n'other question.

Right now you have everything stored in a directory - is this heirartical
As in a sub directory for friends another for buss contacts - or perhaps .contact files anwwhere on the disk , seems to me it should be doable by implemting a virtual folder for .contacts

Suggestion for the Dev Team:

You should probably store a hash (at leat MD5) when the message comes in so that you can indicate if the message soource was manually changed (by a person - or by a program) on the file system.

Great Video -

The only suggestio I have is that since channel9 is dev oriented, you should minimize the "what does it give to my mom" questions.

Re: Shishir Mehrotra - WinFS beta 1 team meeting

AIM48 — Tue, 30 Aug 2005 04:38:31 GMT

Interesting - This may also make things a bit more diffacult for malware like rootkits (at least for the time being) - because now it also has to contend with SQL security and it will not be able to hide suspicious metadata of certain files- It would have to crack the DB's security first.

Question - Is the db engine a close relitive of lets say SQL2005 Express - If so can they both co-exist (different instances?)

Also - I assume that the relationale asspects of the tables will be accessable via SQL (not just OQL or whatever it is called). Meaing that we can technicly build our apps on top of winfs without having to install sql server 2005.

they code..with just four hours of sleep..do you see the problem???

I know , I know - However your statment can be interpreted as "They code for 4 hours while asleep" by someone (like me) looking for a cheap ha ha

Frankly I don't think that (and I really hope they didn't) make this change to placate the open source crowd with a sort of "me too" type of thing.

I hope that this is a considered move on microsoft's part to make it eaiser for ISV's such as myself to interact with office documents so that I and other microsoft customers/partners can make more money selling "Proprietary" office solutions.
