WindowsXP è proprio bello
Sono riuscito ad ottenere una copia della RC1 (che però mi è scaduta dopo pochi giorni, pazienza!)Per quello che ho visto, WindowsXP è un piccolo capolavoro che unisce gusto estetico, altissima personalizzazione, facilità d'uso e una quantità di funzioni e di caratteristiche che non si contano.Non vedo l'ora esca nei negozi: finalmente varrà la pena acquistare un sistema operativo per il mio PC.

Cos'e' un sistema operativo?
Da I moderni sistemi operativi, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, ed. Prentice Hall Int. Jackson Libri:"1.1.1 Il sistema operativo come macchina estesa1.1.2 Il sistema operativo come gestore delle risorse."Ed ancora:"1.3.4 Il sistema operativo e' il codice che esegue le chiamate di sistema. Editor,compilatori,assemblatori, linker e interpreti di comandi non fanno per niente parte del sistema operativo, anche se risulatano utili ed importanti."e ancora:"1.4.1 Sistemi monoliticiQuesto approccio, di gran lunga il piu' usato, puo' essere chiamato "Il grande pasticcio". La struttura consiste nell'assenza di struttura: il sistema operativo e' scritto come una collezione di procedure, ciascuna delle quali puo' chiamare una qualunque delle altre, ogni qualvolta ne ha bisogno."I capitoli 2, 3 e 4 riguardano poi rispettivamente I processi, la gestione della memoria, il file system.MEDITATE GENTE, MEDITATE

Finalmente ho capito cosa vuole la microsoft
Bè non è che non si fosse già capito...ma questa è un altra risprova..alla microsoft non interessa la qualità..basta farlo e distribuirlo..negli ultimi anni è un continuo susseguirsi di nuove versione di windows...direi in media 1 ogni sei mesi..mentre prima almeno faceva passare due anni prima di presentare la sua nuova seri di bug..comunque ho sentito (bug a parte) che uno dei primi problemi per chi lo usa è la lentezza e l'enorme quantità di ram richiesta..ma d'altronde microsoft bada alle apparente e allo sfornare S.o e software per incassare..è una buona tattica........se vendesse Pupazzetti per bambiniBy MasterThiefwww.thehacknet.f2s.com

Businnes!
Da quello che ho letto nelle opinioni, deduco che molti non hanno ben chiara una cosa... L'informatica è un MERCATO, ciò significa che Microsoft ha tutti i diritti di spingere dei prodotti, che apparentemente non innovano niente, ma sono "nuovi".... Questo succede ovunque girino un bel po' di soldi, sono delle semplici leggi di mercato... Poi se qualcuno crede che l'informatica ne sia fuori e sia un mondo felice dove non frega niente a nessuno di guadagnare (e questo è il parere di molti...), si sbaglia di grosso...SalutJ k C

15 ragioni per usare Windows XP
(tratto da www.emulators.com/secrets.htm)Top Fifteen Reasons to Upgrade to Windows XP:It's Windows NT at a Windows 9x price ($99 upgrade) - While Windows NT has normally run about $300, XP will be sold at the usual Windows 9x prices - about $99 for an upgrade and $199 for a full version according to Amazon's price sheet. This also means that if Microsoft extends the same Windows 9x pricing to OEMs and system builders, you'll be able to buy a PC bundled with Windows XP for no extra cost than getting it with the horrible Windows Millennium.ClearType - A technology Microsoft first showed about 2 or 3 years ago, it's finally in XP. Turn on ClearType and your text just becomes super smooth. ClearType is designed for LCD displays and takes advantage of the fact that an LCD display really has 3 physical pixels per screen pixel displayed and is thus able to render text at up to 3 times the clarity. I've used ClearType on my notebook computers and my desktops with the Silicon Graphics 1600SW displays, and what was already a clear display is even clearer. I can read a 7 point font from 2 or 3 feet away no problem. Remember those old Windows 3.1 line fonts? Ugh, how mankind has progressed in 10 years!Hibernate works - From talking to other people, I am not the only person who has had trouble using the Suspend and Hibernate features in past releases of Windows. They just plain didn't work. Most of the time I'd hit the power button to wake up the machine and it would either reboot or do nothing. In Windows XP, Hibernate not only works, it is fast. A 256 megabyte PC hibernates in about 10 seconds. (hmmm, is that a benchmark?) It then takes all of another 10 seconds to wake it up (not including the time your PC's BIOS spends testing memory). Forget ever shutting down and restarting, it's so much quicker to just Hibernate the machine. For those not familiar with the feature, it is similar to Suspend or Sleep in earlier operating systems, but does not leave the machine powered on. All the RAM is dumped to hard disk and the PC does truly shut down. Then when you wake it up again, Windows XP simply loads in 10 seconds worth of saved memory and resumes from where you left off.Automatic clock synchronization - Seems like a simple enough feature but why did it never appear before? Windows XP will now automatically sync up to the correct time using the Internet and do so on a daily basis. It is just a cool simple feature. I have my wall of flat screen monitors here on my desk and every single desktop is showing the same time and date to within a second of accuracy. Before, using Windows 98 or 2000, most of my PCs were several minutes out of sync with each other and I had a weekly ritual of setting the clocks on several dozen PCs around the office here.Windows 9x system calls work - One of the big show stoppers with Windows 2000 was that it only implemented Windows NT system calls and not all Windows 95/98 system calls. This was one of the reasons many Windows 95 compatible programs broke on Windows NT and Windows 2000. In some cases, system calls did exist but didn't function, or were stubbed out. Even following Microsoft's guidelines to test for the availability of a given system call didn't work in all cases. As far as I can tell, XP implements everything from Windows 98.Compatibility modes - To help with running older Windows apps, Windows XP now allows you to specify the compatibility mode to run for a certain application. This can be Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000. This way an application that, for example, incorrectly detects the Windows version and can't handle a version 5.1, or incorrectly handles Windows NT system calls, can now be told that it's running on, for example, Windows 95. Way cool. This is what Windows 2000 was badly missing.System Restore works - Not only can you FIND the option for disabling System Restore (it's right in the My Computer Properties dialog now), but you can also turn it on and off on an individual drive letter basis, and you can cleanse the hard disk of old restore files. All that horrible junk I outline above about turning off System Restore in Windows Millennium goes away!Plug And Play works - Another Windows 95 feature that never quite worked before that truly seems to work now is Plug And Play. Out of about two dozen PCs that I have personally installed Windows XP on, I have only had two minor problems - my Sony VAIO palm computer required me to manually download the custom ATI video driver from Sony's web site in order to take advantage of the 1024x480 video mode, and my Gateway Solo notebook required that I download the modem driver from Gateway's web site. Other than that, every device on every computer (Dell, Gateway, Compaq, custom built, Pentium III, Athlon, Pentium 4, Transmeta Crusoe, Celeron, you name it) installed automatically.Virtual Memory can be shut off - A feature that transferred over from Windows 9x. In the past, the Windows NT kernel has always required a swap file on hard disk. Even if you have 1 gigabyte of RAM in your PC, NT will still create a default 20 megabyte swap file, and usually much larger. This wastes disk space (as anything above 128 megabytes you can pretty much run without virtual memory) and on notebook computers causes unnecessary disk spin-ups and disk activity which waste battery power. With Windows XP, I can shut off the swap file. On my Gateway Solo notebook which has 288 megabytes of RAM, I've been running with no swap file for months and the machine stays nice and quite while the hard drive stays off.Security - One of the biggest reasons there are so many denial of service attacks on the Internet is because of high speed cable modems and Windows 98. Back in 1998, Microsoft added a Web Publishing feature to Windows 98, to make it "easy" to publish files to the web and to web sites. What it really did under the hood was simply share out your entire hard disk over your Internet connection, leaving your PC wide open for hacker intrusion. With the popularity of DSL and cable modems, millions of people even today unknowingly share out their machines. While this threat has been known about for several years, the DSL and cable providers do a poor job of alerting their customers to this security threat. A great series of articles appears on the web site of Gibson Research about such attacks. Windows 95, 98, and Me simply do not have a lot of security. Anyone with a high speed Internet connection really should be running a form of Windows NT. Windows XP adds a built software firewall which is great for those people who don't spend the $150 on a hardware firewall.Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance - These are just the coolest features and I didn't even know about them until a few weeks ago! Anyone who's ever used third party remote access software knows the benefit of being able to remotely log into and use a machine that's in another room. Or as in my case, you have a sta

Boia che discorso!
"Non saprò cosa sia un monopolio fino a quando qualcuno non me lo dice. Quello che fa Microsoft è provare a fare i prodotti che la gente vuole. Non ci basta che solo il dieci per cento delle persone desideri i nostri prodotti, vogliamo che tutti li desiderino".1.La MS è un monopolio, per esempio.Te lo dico io, Ballmer.2.Anche Hitler inizialmente faceva quelloche la maggior parte dei tedeschi voleva.3.Se volete che tutti desiderino i vostriprodotti, passate alle droghe.
