  Hi,

  I was the one posting about the resolution reset on reboot. I'm using displayport so I can get 10bit per channel color support. I need this for my work in video/animation production. I tried the latest drivers for the monitor but they were already installed, so that was no help.  I did notice that the loading windows screen is at the correct resolution, it's only when it reaches the logins creen that it switches to the 1920x1200 resolution.

  I believe the Jurassic Park "Unix" was the "Button Fly" demo app that came with Irix on Silicon Graphics Workstations. SGI workstations were the computers for visual fx at the time.

  Follow up on the restore. It took about 16 hours total. Everything is working great so it's hard to complain. Here are some additional details. I had a hdd that I suspected was bad. (256gb). So I made a system image to an empty 2TB drive. I then restored back to my new ssd. The image was 97GB but it was about 129GB uncompressed as it seemed to unmark compression on all files. I just assumed if the drive speed was the issue, I would see the hdd light thrashing. (32GB memory, PhenomII 6 core 3.2ghz)

  This seems like the perfect place to ask this question. Why is restoring a system image so incredibly slow? What is it doing? I barely see the hard drive light come on. I'm at about 25% after five hours. The image is about 95GB. Creating the image took only 40 minutes or so. New hard drive is a 256GB ssd.

  At least I have time to watch all the old episodes waiting for this to finish.

• Design for a multimillion thin client market with RemoteFX

  Sep 22, 2011 at 2:01 PM

  Will this technology (remoteFX) be available for 1:1 scenerios. Win8 client to Win8 client? We let people work from home occasionally but the current remote desktop experience is insufficient graphics-wise but the bandwidth is already plenty. The idea is they can remote into their desktops and continue working.

  If app registration happens in HKCU, how do you prevent a desktop app from corrupting or injecting an exploit of the metro apps?

• Using the Windows Runtime from C++

  Events and Delegates? Does that mean that c++/cx might support LINQ and Rx in the future? Rx's subscribe/unsubsribe model seems like a better way to use events.

  I'm glad that my c++/cli skills haven't gone to waste. ^s off to the winRT team!
