Express Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 let File Explorer make thumbnails with the GPU I don't think that possible. Explorer just calls a external dll that comes with WMP or Acrobat or Word or Excel etc. So tommorrow you create your new extension/file-format, Explorer will just call you program to generate the thumbnail. The thumbnails itself are drawn on the screen using Aero (which uses the GPU). Anyways I am surprised that thumbnails takes time to generate on your system. Do you have a old computer?

Matt Jay Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Oh! I forgot that IIS 7 will be updated too. I have been using it since Vista was released. will be great to use the improved version now in Server 2008 betas. I love the error pages in the new IIS7! Plus the welcome page and stuff is a nice finish to it! It might improve the speed with the new Kernel.. The kernal in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 starts up pretty fast and mostly everything is, the shutdown is super fast! And beta 3 is old now, Microsoft has a build of Windows Server 2008 in its labs and its kernal is even faster, imagine it integrated into sp1 beta 1! cant wait plus that hypervisor thing i heard.

ObiWanToby Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Anyone have Microsoft contacts that could give us detailed information on kernel changes and what performance increase it might bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 You guys are also forgetting this might NOT be a public beta, thus you will need to be pre-approved and invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNay Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Anyone have Microsoft contacts that could give us detailed information on kernel changes and what performance increase it might bring. Yup, billgates@microsoft.com ;) Seriously, even if someone had contacts, they wouldn't release the info about the changelog. They never did when I was testing Vista beta in the newgroups, so why would they tell anyone :( We all have to wait.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Those newsgroup people don't trust anyone, the Vista Beta was annoyingly quiet. Wendy was sorta entertaining though. I was referring to someone a bit less public though....and rarer, more special than the newsgroup people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Bink didn't 'report' that. Since, Microsoft has provided an updated statement on that. They say it is a copy error and there won't be any SP1 at TechEd. http://www.istartedsomething.com/20070717/vista-sp1-teched/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmarE D Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Just got this in an e-mail: Hello WDK Beta Users-A new beta WDK build is now available for download on Connect. This WDK beta release to Connect coincides with the recent OS beta release for Vista SP1 Preview. Please take a few moments to install the new build and test as applicable for your needs. As always, please file bugs as quickly and detailed as possible. Thank you for your continued support! WDK Team From the way it sounds it could either be a public or more private release. Who knows? EDIT: I didn't see the links above that already mention this :laugh: I'm a little slow today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
