Delay of Windows Vista Again but in Europe This Time

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Microsoft has given a pretty clear hint that the introduction of Windows Vista operating system will be delayed once again. This time, instead of blaming the development team, Microsoft points her finger to the European Commission saying that the European Commission’s antitrust requirements force Microsoft to delay the birth of Windows Vista in Europe.

However, the representive of European Commision said “It is not up to the Commission to give Microsoft a green light before Vista is put on the market; it is up to Microsoft to accept and implement its responsibilities as a near-monopolist to ensure full compliance with EU competition rules.”

Hence, Windows Vista’s birtdate still remains to be uncertain.

Windows Vista SuperFetch Technology Sucks

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

One of the latest technology that powered Windows Vista is the SuperFetch technology that makes your favorite programs load faster. How the SuperFetech technology works is it studies the programs that an individual user frequently runs and loads them into memory automatically (be ready to have all your memory sucks by Windows Vista).

For instance, if you run Adobe Photoshop and Firebox every single day, ten Windows Vista will be smart enough to load these applications at start-up .

Hence, in perfect world, Windows Vista susposingly load programs faster because of SuperFetch technology.

Nevertheless, suse Linux kernel developer Andrea Arcangeli was skeptical about this technology. He said “”It might help on a 128MB system that flushes the cache away very fast, but on a 1GB system I doubt it can make a significant difference, and at first glance, it doesn’t seem to be worth the complexity it would introduce,” the Imola, Italy-based developer said in an e-mail interview.”

Arcangeli also said that “in many cases, preloading new memory means flushing away an existing cache. “So it’s not like it’s a “risk-free” operation,” he said. “It may be a good trade-off but it can actually slowdown the system instead of making it faster.”"

We are going to see whether Windows can really beat Linux in terms of performance.
