My guess is that you will find info about kernel improvements in Longhorn over at http://www.sysinternals.com. Mark Russinovich and David Solomon wrote a summary article of the kernel improvements in Windows XP (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/12/XPKernel/default.aspx) earlier. And of course they have written the definitive guide to the Windows Kernel: "Inside Windows 2000"(http://www.sysinternals.com/insidew2k.shtml).

But it seems that Charles have got something more about the future of the Windows kernel. Looking forward to that

Great.  Always good to hear Anders.  Looking forward to the c# Data concepts.  Will that be talked about at TechEd?

Gotta love the new MSDN Library

Small excerpt from it:

"You can use the DynamicMethod class to generate and execute a method at run time, without having to generate a dynamic assembly and a dynamic type to contain the method. Dynamic methods are the most efficient way to generate and execute small amounts of code.

A dynamic method is associated with a module, and is effectively global to that module. With sufficient permissions, a dynamic method can access the private data of types declared in that module. You can associate a dynamic method with any module, whether or not you created the module."

I just can't believe that Bill freaked out about 60k and now he innondates developers with a 20 meg virtual machine to replace the appx 5 meg java vm or msvbvm6 with when it wasn't even distributed with service packs, and wants everybody to develop on it and act like that's the normal way to develop instead of using C++ and long lasting binary code libraries.
