Vista Beta 2 News RoundUp - TechAmok
Vista Beta 2 News RoundUp - [briefly]
05:02 AM EDT - Jun,13 2006 - post a comment
- Vista Beta 2 - Most popular download in history? -
According to a news conference with Microsoft and the Featured Community
websites, Windows Vista Beta 2
is the "biggest software download event in history" since it was released to
the public as part of the Customer Preview Program on Wednesday.
Microsoft claims to be hitting the "ceilings on bandwidth" of the Internet.
"Right now we are serving out product keys 10x faster than we can serve the
downloads." Microsoft is concerned that if they increase their bandwidth
further that it will have a measurable impact on the rest of the internet and
there is a "good possibility" of affecting other events such as World Cup
online viewing. (thanks XXXX)
- BitTorrent, Meet VistaTorrent - While Microsoft didn't want the
product on BitTorrent because it wouldn't be able to control/monitor the
feedback as easily,
a couple of enterprising Windows testers have created VistaTorrent (site)
to help bottlenecked wannabe testers.
- Is Vista Heading for a Flash Nightmare? - Windows Vista is getting
not one, but two, new flash-based memory infusions: ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive.
But eWEEK columnist and storage aficionado David Morgenstern has some qualms
about how well either ReadyBoost or ReadyDrive will work in practice, rather
just than in theory. Are the Ready Twins really ready for the enterprise?
- Vista beta 2 won't run SLI -
At this
time Vista beta 2 simply doesn''t work with Nvidia dual card configuration.
Vista is early 2007, if we lucky, so Nvidia and ATI still have some time to
polish it up. But, for the time being, if you use SLI machines and wants to
give Vista a try either enable single display or disable the second card in
control panel.
- WinFS' Next Hurdle: Windows Live - WinFS, Microsoft's
next-generation file-storage system, is still not at the Beta 2 stage. But the
longer WinFS takes, the more complex the data-environment becomes that
Microsoft is attempting to manage. As if it weren't bad enough to try to break
down the data storage and retrieval silos across Windows, Office and SQL
Server,
now Windows Live is part of WinFS' target environment, too.
