but thanks for sharing the info :D
If I can get my hands on Milestone 2 when it hits, I'll let you guys know. Till then, I'm going to start working on M1 tonight and tomorrow. From What I know, DX11 Should be getting Previewed this Fall. If this is true, It should still make it into Windows 7. When W7 Goes Beta hopefully. I wonder....There is a modded UXtheme for it already too. If You look at WithinWindows.
My Win 7 M1 is on the road to my home
I'll do some test with my rig ( 4 GB )
feel free to ask what test you want to see

What did you do to this poor XP? My uses 83 and the last time I installed, I skipped all usual optimizations because my hardware is fast enough.Quote:

some pages on the web say that vista sp1/2008server are already minwin, but i don't think so.
google ms minwin
Footprint should be smaller, their aim with Windows 7 is to make the install modular, much like Linux. Their currently testing how that works with Windows Server 2008. You can choose to install just the core OS.Quote:

UAC emulates that. The only thing its missing is a "Always perform this action" checkbox, so it wont bug you again for that specific program, letting you create a sort of accepted list.
And of course a list you can view and edit that shows all the allowed programs in case you change your mind.
And if you Really don't like it for some odd reason (The equivalent of using Linux as the Root account, something any Linux user would laugh you out of the room for) it can easily be disabled.
I'm pretty sure they got rid of the minwin kernel, and instead they're using a modified vista kernel..Quote:

looking forward to see some more about this :)
the last infos about windows 7 revealed that it won't use the minwin kernel, but an modified vista kernel.Quote:

that's 2008 std core server on vmware, server is acting as dc and dns - 41mb kernel size that's nothing :D
you can see on my taskmgr that the whole os is taking 133mb.
the 2008 server is almost linuxish and fast. but when u add gui and all of the other stuff u get vista......... !
and that's the issue for most of us not the server.
forgot about the uac - >
try :
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
to reverse
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v
EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Until you enter a game and XP, unlike vista doesnt completely unload the desktop.Quote:

No, it does not. Search XS news for minwin.Quote:
