Next Vista update, and a few other things

  • Thread starter Thread starter PowerUser

Rock, I have recently talked with Microsoft Support and the real deal is
this that Microsoft really wants Windows Vista to be a stable and powerful
product so Microsoft is going to a great deal of trouble to allow a great
deal of users to test their builds for errors. I think when Bill Gates or
another powerful Microsoft icon presents Vista as ready in a presentation
then perhaps they can avoid a Blue Screen of Death or an automatic restart
or even an error about a potential Blue Screen of Death. This would
certainly be embarrassing and I think it happened with Windows 98 or 98SE.

And so what exactly does that mean? Is this person a definitive source and
what exactly did they say about future public releases?
 
I thought I read somewhere that Microsoft might make another limited
release of Vista available to public in October.

Not gonna happen, 9x codebase was insecure from the ground up, which is
where the requirement for NT came from, which lead to Win2k, XP, and Vista.

Somewhere along this codebase, Win2003 and Professional x64 was branched
(not sure where).

I would not be too sure. I have a lot of power in my new job and we
will have to wait and see. BTW, at the source code core -- 9x coding is
more secure than NT (New Technology) coding and I have proof of this. I
know because the NT was called Not There because it lacked a maintenance
operating system as Chris Quirke, MVP so often has mentioned. The NT
source code has more security than the 9x source code but the 9x source
code is more secure if you strip the NT source code of all the external
security that has been added over the years and get down to the source
code level. I know this also because I have done testing for Microsoft
in regards to 9x source coding and NT source coding -- so there -- well
kept secret that must be revealed for the good of society.

That says there will be one more build which will have limited release
to the public, as 5728 did.

Great and thanks Rock I am looking forward to testing it as well.
Congratulations are given and deserved to Microsoft for subjecting their
new Windows Vista operating system to so much testing. The new Windows
Vista is going to ROCK!!! LOL, get the joke -- Rock -- grin -- no
offense taken, I hope <smile>
