instead of just revising existent product to become new product.
I would prefer MS to start a new OS project from scratch - yes, a revolution rather than an evolution this is needed for computer hardwares to be fully utilized. I am sure a lot people will complain compatibility issues, but sacrifice is needed for better efficiency what do you guys think ? |

QUOTE(FarCry3r @ Nov 13 2010, 01:15 AM) New OS from scratch is not an option as that would take too much times and while in process, all other OSes will advances with new features and such. Even MacOSX and Linux doesn't get total rewrite as it's time consuming, money costing and not productive. I should use not fully optimized instead of fully utilized, sorry for the wrong word used hereBTW, what does not get fully utilized in Windows 7? Can you name a few?  for example: the battery life in windows is not efficient compared to other advanced OS such as OSX leopard on the same machine on the same machine OSX has much longer battery life source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2785/the-new...sta-sata-issues furthermore, windows has some redundant services running behind that consume CPU resources, which slow down and shorten the battery life  well you can see, windows phone 7 is just an example of revolution Added on November 16, 2010, 11:05 pm QUOTE(herojack41 @ Nov 15 2010, 01:19 AM) well....if MS follow as you said...im pretty sure the company will collapse straight away.... well the software architecture should be made to be compatible with hardwares. do you know in this world there are still many end user and business user using old OS? and also hardware....yeah you might think if hardware are not working with latest software should change it...but i can said its so darn wrong. those hardware maybe cost over rm10k!!!

QUOTE(FarCry3r @ Nov 17 2010, 01:20 AM) That's so 2006. Haven't you heard that Windows 7 now handles power more efficiently than Windows Vista? well i heard alot about windows 7 regarding power handling improvement , but in real world test... it makes negligible differencesThat can be disabled if needed. I still can't figure out what this sentence mean. If Windows is not compatible with hardwares, you will see peoples moaning over the world that their new hardware purchases doesn't work with Windows. Am I right? athough you say it is so 2006 windows 7 does not really improve the power handling. source: http://www.pcworld.com/article/172509-2/wi...ance_tests.html well I just said that sentence because the former forumer thought re-designing architecture of OS will need new hardware architecture/organization as well...

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Dec 13 2010, 01:49 PM) I don't think so. They're making it a cloud-based OS, and the new interface for 64-bit version is only for HIGH-END computers. The new UI is codenamed "Wind" in case if you did not know. what you said sounds more like Windows Azure List of Changes: - Cloud-based OS, in order to fight piracy, and you'll have to connect to the internet if you want to use it. - New UI for 64-bit version, codenamed "Wind". This is the biggest change, this UI is using about 170MB of your memory and it's designed for high-end computers. It will be fully 3D UI. Micro$oft CEO, $teve Baller, stated that Window$ 8 is their most ri$ky product. It is ri$ky indeed.  |
