The whole IE infrastructure and code I think is already all replaced with new-generation code and concepts so allowing an open source community to work on an IE6 clone built directly from the IE6 source and built to uphold IE6 terrorizing situation while helping a built-in IE6 -> modern web shim wouldn't infringe on any current generation stuff for IE9+.  As IE6's stagnant web problem that Microsoft has created without malice is indeed still a massive problem, and everyone still on XP is making this be a huge issue continue to be an issue.  

So, for administrators that must keep XP in-house or for home users, allowing an IE6 clone to maybe shim the architecture of IE6 while maintaining problems which are "bug-as-a-feature" status may actually help the web move forward just even a little.  Doing so would also indicate that Microsoft may actually want to help dig the WWW out of the hole it accidentally created by showing good intention to the world by open sourcing IE6 by itself and re-invigorating just a tiny bit of never before seen trust seen before out of Microsoft history.

It's a 64-Bit editor which has multiple very sweet properties, Visual Studio Project Plugin and tons of more plugins, snippets for countless languages, auto-completion for... everything even based on previous files used, uses ZERO (0) CPU cycles when not in use AND it can handle many-millions of lines of text without slowing down even doing vertical editing on line *million .

But alas, try it out and deem it for yourself!

A good analogy to this is the CPU's themselves, not like the CPU grabs a single friggin bit of data out of memory, the CPU's pull the data as cache-lines and chunks at a time for faster speeds even tho the data in the memory isn't all being used. Of course it causes things like false sharing and memory location contention when it's not done right but still, hardware went to grabbing more data than is needed in one go, I think that Vance shouldn't be so picky on being 100% efficient as if it were kernel space or if this code was used for lunar launches & space exploration. If he wants, why don't they just put in heuristics or hints to the CPU's so that CPU's can also be 98% efficient using/hinting to the branch prediction engines built into current CPU's and do their tracing to help it along?

@Hakime:LLVM/Clang uses a runtime ... http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/ learn and weep ALL native program code other than OS Kernel code specifically developed to be used inside the kernel uses a "runtime", and even then, since I don't have access to Windows kernel code it probably also creates it's own "runtime" at its very core, but it's all self-contained and doesn't have any external dependencies to classify the kernel's core as a "runtime".

DevDiv: The closer you stick to implementing C++11 to it's official specification, the better you will be. And PLEASE focus on the CORE LANGUAGE before you spiff it up with the flashy libraries you mentioned. I'll love seeing it complete to the best of Microsoft's ability and finally once again be the best compiler available from day's long past. 

And I'm going to say... I actually dislike the way AMP was implemented... It's results are impressive but the way you focus on array_view's just feels... bad... and yes OpenCL's Warp focused structure feels bad too

"%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0" AND 
"%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 0" = Beautiful In this menu

It's completely terrible that Microsoft doesn't supply these two options as "Group3" and have the tools as "Group4" As such:

Microsoft please release a windows update to enable/allow that right-click menu to have the small .lnk icons used for shortcuts.

Thanks again for the tip Larry.

It's absolute heresy and tragedy that Microsoft doesn't supply these two options as "Group3" and have the tools as "Group4" As such:

BTW in a future windows update Microsoft should enable that menu to have the small icons used for shortcuts which are used for the .lnk files Please and THANK YOU!

BTW C'mon Charles lets get some WinRT architectural video's/Win8 videos out!.

I wonder what Jim(or anyone who's interested here) would think of my parallel execution engine/vm which schedules and tracks data dependance in a sort of VM environment with a 1 extra layer of memory location indirection instead of making the compiler know all data & locations aware at compilation time?

It is a little vague and it does it's break up horizontally accross cores instead of vertically to fill the vectors but I did try to explain for a broader audience but I'd love feedback on if my architecture & design seems possible!  If it's just wrong or if any of you long time researchers know if it can't work as I tried to explain please let me know .

I THINK Andrei said he was about to destroy the functional side, since he had the perspective of implementation detail instead of how to do the mental concept map for a functional implementation for the doubly-linked list; the very essence of the difference between the two paradigms.

Might be odd trying to get hired on Channel9 but I may as well try to do what I dream of working on one day; research for the advancement of our modern technology.

Love this conference and it's content! I can't wait to watch the rest of the videos as they are posted!

Grab both:
 x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang-3.1-2_rubenvb.7z and 
 x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.0-2_rubenvb.7z

Extract both to the same directory to merge them for libraries & runtime dll's.  Running clang++.exe seems to work excellent with and without the -std=c++0x command line flag to enable C++11 features like range-based for loops and auto. Lambda's aren't yet supported but the GCC included by downloading and merging both supports all new features noted here: http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html

Hope this helps some get started quickly with trying Clang.

It's always nice to hear from Simon, thanks for the interview Charles.

Good luck with coding a prototype for your product.

It uses pipelining in a vectorized form relative to other pipelines in the system, and is a just-above abstraction above instruction level parallelism.  There's a diagram for people to enjoy too What do people think?

C'mon Anders, sure C# is your baby but it sounds like you aren't leveraging F#'s amazing aspects for making a project like this. By just embracing some native F# a little more and merging their IL together would be a beauty. Then aspects of the TRUE next generation of code generators should show themselves via your team's findings.

Who say's you can't create C#'s successor language instead of just dwelling on C# so much?

Here's to hoping strict mode is supported in the final incarnations of WinRT!
