Windows Vista – The Next-gen OS

Windows Vista – The Next-gen OS
The new Windows will be called Windows Vista. From now on the name Longhorn will not be used by Microsoft anymore, but it’s possible that you’ll encounter the name Longhorn in the two upcoming beta’s.
This article contains information about how Windows Vista will handle 2D and 3D graphics and information about Vista’s new features.
Vista uses the Windows Graphics Foundation, or WGF. WGF 1.0 will use DirectX 9.0c as its primary interface, but Vista will also have the Next-Gen 3D API build in. You can see it as DirectX 10, but it’s officially called WGF 2.0.
One of the important features of WGF is the Longhorn Display Driver Model (LDDM). It is possible with LDDM to install a new graphics driver without even rebooting your system. LDDM will ship in two stages. The first, called basic, supports current generation graphics hardware: shader model 2.0 and 3.0 capable hardware. The second stage of LDDM, advanced, will support hardware features that ship at the same time or after Vista is released, but will work with the new features in WGF 2.0. Because of the competitive way of graphics hardware development, we’ll probably see advanced LDDM capable hardware before Vista is released. The current Windows XP driver model is still supported, but will be frozen going forward. Read the rest of this entry »

Dangerously cheesy
Jul 20, 2005 life
Just read this…
I was eating a bag of Cheetos the other day, when I noticed the claim that they are “dangerously cheesy.” I chewed carefully, trying to figure out exactly what was so dangerous about the cheese flavor. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried a 2002 French-aged Roquefort, but that’s some dangerous cheese flavor. That cheese tastes like it was ripened in the asscrack of a mule.
I made the following prank call to Frito-Lay to try to clarify what they meant.
FRITO-LAY: Thank you for calling Frito-Lay, this is Alice. How may I help you?
JOHN HARGRAVE: Hi. I was eating a bag of your Puffed Cheetos the other day, and I noticed that you say they are “dangerously cheesy.”
FL: Uh-huh.
JH: I have a six-year-old daughter, and I’m worried about her eating something dangerous.
FL: [Chuckle] That’s, uh, that’s an advertisement. Our marketing department thought it was catchy. Cheetos are not threatening, or dangerous, at all.
JH: Do they contain shards of glass?
FL: No. By “dangerously cheesy,” we just mean they are very cheesy.
JH: Do Cheetos cause cancer?
FL: No. Rest assured, you have nothing to worry about.
JH: Will they explode in your mouth?
FL: No.
JH: So they don’t explode with cheesy flavor?
FL: [Pause] Is there anything else I can help you with today? Read the rest of this entry »
