Win-Vista beta-1 for DL plus a video for non-crash dummies2005-07-28 07:29:45 PM delphi31 The beta-1 of Vista is suppose to be currently available for DL from MSDN. Some may want to take it for a test drive and others may be interested in learning more but not willing to get involved with a test drive (dare I mention crash dummies;>)) so here is a video for those folks. channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx Chris Jones, a corporate vice president tasked with building and shipping the beta Win Vista product talks about what's in beta 1 and a little about beta-2 and the roadmap. It sounds to me like they may be planning on going gold during the 3-4th qtr of '06 which is more-or-less about the same time as Delphi Highland is expected. The video is 34 min long and can be streamed at 555kb/s or if you DL the wmv file it is 139MB. The first 5 min is mostly introductions and joking, the next 6 min contains a lot of MS-BS, the eye candy starts at about 11 min, with developer info starting at about 15 min. At about 19 min there is a discursion of a new Internet enabled debugging facility built into Vista that us developers may find interesting. At 21 min there is the beginning of a discussion of what is in and what was left out and how the .NET framework relates to the OS. |
