newsgeek Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Ian Griffiths posted to Longhorn user group detailing some of the kernel improvements that we can be expecting from Longhorn. Longhorn will feature CPU time reservation, and disk access scheduling. These changes are being added mainly for the benefit of the media services. MS wants movies and other media to play without interruptions. Additionally, GotDotNet is featuring a diagram showing how Longhorn is built.

sys32 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Longhorn is definately going to be a very interesting release. I have a feeling that this is the windows we have all (both developers and end users) have been waiting to see for a long time. It's OS X and then some.

Groovedude Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I would say we dont nknow enough yet.. there is still 2 more years of production to go yet.. everything can change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sys32 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I would say we dont nknow enough yet.. there is still 2 more years of production to go yet.. everything can change.. That's not true. They already know what they are going to do. Now it's just time to figure out how to get it done and then do it. The coding/testing is what takes up the most time. :laugh: I wonder how long it's gonna take to compile this baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_daemon Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I wonder how long it's gonna take to compile this baby. It takes me one week to compile a full linux environnement with libraries and so on a rather old machine. But I doubt MS compiles code with a very old machine. Probably using a lovely compile farm of a few hundred machines or a cluster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougkinzinger Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 KernEl .. not 'AL'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted November 3, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2003 i think paul thurrott said they compiled server 2003 daily... kernEL, not kernAL :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougkinzinger Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 @doug Calm down and stop being a post-count ######. Easy there, killer. We're talking about a core of the world's soon-to-be most prominent operating system, so it should be spelled right. Although, thanks for giving me this chance to reply and have yet another post courtesy of system32! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted November 3, 2003 MVC Share Posted November 3, 2003 Didnt they say somewhere it toom 8 Hours to compile Windows 2000 using 4 computers with 450MHZ Xeon Processors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoGro123 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 They compile Windows Daily, although it's not fair to judge now because the automated system isn't active (the system is still split up into 4 main labs and 8 mini labs - i think). Also, as for there is so much room to change etc. I don't think so and I think its good that there isn't. Some of the best programs (OSX) included are good because you go through a structured process - what do i want, whats the structure, whats the format, whats the content - then you build it, test it, fix it. By moving through this structure (no different than an essay :() you end up with a much better finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoge3k Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Apparantly it takes 14 hours to compile a Longhorn build. Starts at 5pm, done by 7am the next day :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
