W.A. Mozart was way ahead of his time, so it was probably 128 bit code.
"Chad Harris" <getsomevistainfoout.net> wrote in message I know a pizza place on the Karntnerstrasse that makes to die for Pizza and
a hotel where you can get a good room for $60 with a baby grand outside the
room, TV and your own shower. I guess that makes me very involved with
Vienna.
BTW what the hell does Vienna have to do with MSFT as a name? Did Motzart
write some of the 16 and 32 bit code?
Microsoft has stated[3] that "Vienna" will be available in both 32-bit and
64-bit for the client version, in order to ease the industry's transition
from 32-bit to 64-bit computing. Vienna Server is expected to support only
64-bit server systems. There will be continued backward compatibility with
32-bit applications, but 16-bit Windows and MS-DOS applications will not be
supported as in Windows Vista 64-bit versions. They are already unsupported
in 64-bit versions of XP and Server 2003.
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_"Vienna"
"Several other features originally planned for Windows Vista may be part of
"Vienna", though they may be released independently when they are finished.
"Vienna" will also feature the "sandboxed" approach discussed during the
Alpha/White Box development phase for Longhorn. All non-managed code will
run in a sandboxed environment where access to the "outside world" is
restricted by the operating system. Access to raw sockets will be disabled
from within the sandbox, as will direct access to the file system, hardware
abstraction layer (HAL), and complete memory addressing. All access to
outside applications, files, and protocols will be regulated by the
operating system, and any malicious activity will be halted immediately. If
this approach is successful, it bodes very well for security and safety, as
it is virtually impossible for a malicious application to cause any damage
to the system if it is locked in what is effectively a glass box.
Another interesting feature mentioned by Bill Gates is "a pervasive typing
line that will recognize the sentence that [the user is] typing in." The
implications of this could be as simple as a "complete as you type" function
as found in most modern search engines, (e.g. Google Suggest) or as complex
as being able to give verbal commands to the PC without any concern for
syntax.[2] This former feature has been incorporated to an extent in Windows
Vista."
