"Windows Client 7" appears in WSUS


Recommended Posts

I'm fairly sure that the new Windows Vista certified program requires that all drivers be compatable with Windows 7 as well in order to recieve the Vista certified mark. This will explain the addition of drivers into the Windows 7 Client section!

Well since windows 7 is built upon the new driver model and WPF framwork that was built for windows vista i dont see there needing to be a huge change in how the driver will work , i mean sure they may have did already some enhacnments and small changes but nothing as big as going from Win32 / GDI++ API to WPF API

sorry to confuse you what i was saying is that since windows 7 is intended to work with current vista drivers that their is likely to be hardly no change to the under the hood technologies that run windows vista and future versions so that you wont see 2 different drivers for the same hardware

And you know this *how*?

yes Microsoft spent 7 years developing new graphics and audio and network frameworks just to Toss them all out for windows 7.

Windows 7 is being built on top of all this so it comes natural that windows vista drivers will work just fine with windows 7 it just may bea case that ther may be minor changes to how they work on the windows side

Makes sense to me. They spent so long redesigning the driver system for Vista, and they already said Vista focused more on the technical side rather than the swishy side of things, so I don't see why not.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
