Rob Short (and kernel team) - Going deep inside Windows Vista's kernel architecture | Going Deep

Probably the December CTP or Intel/Realtek drivers still need some work in the less glitching audio area since just watching this video (from HDD) had many moments where the audio went into continous glitch for second or two and video halted and resumed after few seconds. In background I was installing the Beta Client, but XP would not have had any glitches at this kind of little stress test. The hardware is intel 915G with Realtek ac97 audio. Maybe the eye candy is too much for the onboard Intel graphics solution and thus glitches. Wink The audio is also crackling in the video, but restarting it removed the crackling.

You mean this one?

At the end of that one, you said you hoped to revist the team to discuss some more about Singularity and get a demo of the OS.

Whilst I find most of the cideos on chan9 very interesting, the singulairty one, and most of the going deep series for that matter, are particularily enjoyable.

Welcome Change

KevinB,

The Singularity folks will be visited again in 4-6 months. They're rather busy researchers and I don't want to wear out our welcome Wink

Do ask why the registry was overused.
As I know, Windows Users(not professional developers, or power users) dislike touch the registry at first, but the registry is designed that 1)Windows depend on it too much, and 2)'terrorists' are easy to write a piece of code or javasicrpt(through IE) to affect the use of Windows, at final, the Windows Users have to google 'the register' for get relative knowledge about the register.
The same thing is , you guys write an application(windows) with a Button(the registry), and you tell your customers DONOT click the Button(the registry), because it may damage the application(windows), that's ridiculous.

I personal think the register is more like DOS(or win98...), it's a good idea(or good product) at its time, but now, I have to say it's out of date.

I agree /w Rich Neves towards the end of the tape. The future wont be the "one-size-fits-all"-OS/Kernel. Listening to these "Biggies" gives me a glimpse of how painfull it must be to go through the code and "componentize" the system. It must be a "pain-in-the-youknowwhat" re-designing/refining this extremly complicated and complex code-snippets. I can only guess...

A lot of things that were discussed (virtualization,usermode-device-driver-framework, fragmentation, memory_management) reminded me of the discussions I follow with the linux-kernel-newsgroup (- no flaming intended).

The "Do you guys wish (that) the Registry would have never been developed?" was sure a fun question which led to some serious answers. Thats what I like.

Unfortunately I had some difficulty to understand what Richard Ward was saying. I guess I was not the only one.
