Woooot! New "Going Deep". Thanks!

excuse me - do you has a flavor?

Fantastic. Going deep is ftw. This looks really good.

Welcome Change

This was a fun interview. There are some golden nuggets of information here. For example, KTM provides an API for you to create your own RM (e.g., TxF and TxR). This is very important to understand.

Enjoy. Jon and Christian are among the best and brightest and they've created some revolutionary technologies in Vista that are specifically designed for you, developers, to innovate on Vista.

Code on,

Cool video Smiley

Thanks for sharing

Very interresting.
Charles, do you plan a Going Deep in Garbage Collectors,how they work and why isn't it trivial to use them in kernel and drivers (like in Singularity) - or in transactional code?

In fact, yes.

Great to hear that Smiley

Great video indeed! I thought some of you might be interested in the managed code story around TxF and TxR, so I've written a few blog posts on this topic that you might want to check out:

Have fun! KTM/TxF/TxR are worth your time Cool

A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

Can you nest these transactions? Or intercept non-tranactionize IO? How are deadlocks handled? Just wondering...
