Isso das Pen's é uma melhoria, mas quem precisa mesmo da memória compra memória, as pen's são mesmo só pa desenrascar... USB2 não é assim tão rápido qto isso...
 
neste momento se nao me engano ide sao 133mb/s. nenhum disco passa nada a 133mb/s. as taxas tao muito longe disso ainda. em relaçao a flash as velocidades plo menos no meu pc sao bastante semelhantes a um disco ;)

mas tens razao, dizia flash e nao disco. so q disco tem a vantagem de possuir muito mais memoria q flash
 
Não há nada definido.
Mesmo na semana passada o Steve Ballmer veio dizer que pode vir a ser adiado, mais uma vez. A única 'certeza' é o ano, 2007.
 
Estar definido está, Janeiro de 2007, agora isto não implica que vá sair nesta data a todo o custo, ou seja, tal como o Steve Ballmer disse, a data é Janeiro 2007, mas se for necessário mais tempo, para garantirem que sai tudo direito, adiam.

Vai depender muito do feedback da beta 2, do que vão ter de alterar ou deixar de alterar, e das optimizações que ainda vão fazer, RC1.

As melhores pen's usb que aí andam pelo mercado mal passam dos 20MB/s, acho estranho que as consideres tão rápidas como os discos que tens. Experimenta benchar para teres uma ideia melhor.

Will Vista run your Games?
 
acredito em ti... e digo e q um disco anda mais ou menos a volta do mesmo. plo menos no meu ide nao noto mta diferença entre passar coisas da pen para o pc, do pc para a pen ou de um disco para o outro no pc.

para ter no pc, e preferivel um disco porque sempre tem mais espaço.
 
chato de ver... aos solavancos... a minha net n e nada por ai alem e nem sequer e possivel manusear o tempo. nao ha uma barra de tempo! realmente... em vez de avançarem retrocedem...
 
ATI documents about Vista Drivers
ATI have just released documentation regarding the new driver model for graphics vendors which will come into effect with the release of Windows Vista, known as WDDM. Naturally, this PDF document takes an ATI-centric look at this new model, but regardless offers some interesting information and insight for anyone interested in one of the bigger changes to be made within Microsoft's forthcoming Operating System.

Another significant benefit of the WDDM is that the operating system no longer needs to be restarted after the installation of a driver. This means that ATI’s end users will no longer need to reboot their system after installing the latest ATI software Catalyst release.

Microsoft shows off User Account Control changes coming in RC1

Today at TechEd Ben Fathi , the new Vice President of security at Microsoft, and some of his team members highlighted improvements to User Account Control that we can expect to see in the product by Windows Vista RC1.

During the talk they showed how they are working to reduce prompts by placing them more intelligently. How they have altered ACL’s in certain locations like the “Public Desktop” folder to allow the deletion of shortcuts etc. from the common desktop as a standard user without a long series of prompts.

Lastly they showed a new feature that will be included with Windows Vista RC1, a service called “Activex Management Service”. This service which will sit between the browser and the Windows Explorer to facilitate the installation of ActiveX controls, if approved by an administrator, by a standard user.

ActiveX has long been a problem area for enterprises looking to achieve standard user because of its implementation. Under the covers when you download an ActiveX control it is trying to write to system locations like C:\windows\download program files\ and HKey_Classes_Root. These locations are inaccessible as a standard user which led many companies to either relaxing the ACL’s or choosing a different security context (than standard user) entirely. This new service will facilitate the install as local system much in the same way that Windows Installer facilitates installations.

I am glad to see the focus on reducing the prompts as many beta testers can attest this is probably the single biggest frustration of livng with User Account Control technologies enabled. Keep up the great work guys!

Windows Vista Premium 2007 Requirements Detailed


Microsoft is enforcing tough requirements for PCs that claim to be Vista Premium devices



While Microsoft works to prepare and update Windows Vista for launch in 2007, the hardware industry has continued to move forward. Microsoft however, has been following the hardware world steadily, incorporating changes into Windows Vista's requirements for the actual launch. Assuming that all factors work out on time -- and Windows Vista launches on schedule, which is already delayed to begin with -- a Windows Vista computer should be able to provide its owner with very interesting advantages.

Microsoft has broken down its requirements for the Windows Vista logo program into two categories: Basic and Premium. Don't be confused by Basic and Premium, however, as there are several other versions of Windows Vista that can be "Premium" compliant. The actual names of Windows Vista versions are:


* Windows Vista Home Basic
* Windows Vista Home Premium
* Windows Vista Business
* Windows Vista Enterprise
* Windows Vista Ultimate


From the above, the only SKU not eligible for a Windows Vista Premium logo is Home Basic although all of the above are able to use the Basic logo. According to Microsoft, any computer with enough basic specifications can run any of the above Vista SKUs, but those systems that wish to use a Premium logo designation must have certain special specifications met, regardless of which Windows Vista SKU is used -- minus Home Basic. Windows Vista Premium-logo compliancy according to Microsoft:


At a system level, if it includes a device, then all the requirements associated with that device class must be met for the appropriate compliance level of the logo (basic or premium). To qualify for a basic system logo, the devices of a basic system that includes embedded or add-in devices must comply with the basic requirements (if a logo program exists for the device categories). Likewise, to qualify for a premium system logo, the devices of a premium system that includes embedded or add-in devices must comply with the premium requirements for the device category.




The following are requirements for Windows Vista Premium logo-compliant PC and will be mandated by June 1st, 2007:


* Must have H.264 hardware decoding
* Must have HDCP
* Must support multi-monitor support
* Must have HD audio
* Must have HD audio jack presence detection
* Must have Serial ATA 2.5
* Must have minimum of 50MB NV cache on hybrid HD's with at least 8MB/sec write 16MB/sec read (for mobile only)
* Must support booting from USB flash drives
* Must have Windows Vista Green Button on all remotes
* Must have Green Driver Quality Rating (DQR)
o Green score of 7 to 9
o Yellow score of 4 o 6
o Red score of 1 to 3


Premium logo level PCs must first support Windows Vista Aero user interface. This means included graphics cards or integrated graphics solutions must support hardware DirectX9c. While DirectX 10 will be introduced later in 2007 along with Windows Vista, it is not a requirement. Graphics solutions must also support hardware decoding of HD video codecs such as H.264 and MPEG2 and MPEG4. This ensures that Premium PCs will be able to play back Blu-ray and HD-DVD at full resolution. To ensure that this occurs gracefully, PCs must also support HDMI and/or UDI graphics interfaces. HDCP will also be a stiff requirement and there are other content protection schemes on the way. Microsoft is also requiring that Premium systems be capable of multi-monitor support, allowing the use of two screens at minimum.


Making sure that the high definition experience is carried all the way through, Microsoft is also making it a requirement that all Premium logo systems support Intel's HD Audio standard at the very minimum. This means at least 5.1 channels of audio via analog outputs and S/PDIF outputs. Audio jacks are also required to be able to detect what kind of connection is being used, analog or digital.


In terms of storage, hybrid hard drives are only required for mobile systems using the Premium logo. With hybrid hard drives, a minimum of 50MB of non-volatile flash cache memory must be implemented that is at least capable of writing at 8MB/sec. and reading at 16MB/sec. Other NAND flash memory technologies such as Intel's Robson technology, is not a requirement Windows Vista Premium logo -- at this time. For storage devices, Serial ATA-II must be implemented. This means a minimum speed of 3Gbit/sec and advanced features such as native command queuing (NCQ), among others. This rule will apply to both hard drives and motherboards. Interestingly, optical storage drives are not required to use SATA.


System BIOS and EFI implementations will be required to support booting from USB flash memory sticks. As memory sticks increase in sizes, it becomes easier to backup an entire OS install and more completely onto a USB memory key and take it anywhere with you. Microsoft's Premium logo requires that this be an essential feature.



For Media Center PCs, Microsoft will require that all remotes have the Windows Vista Green button. TV tuner and add-in DVR devices that include remote controls must also comply to this rule too if the manufacturer wishes to claim that the product is Windows Vista Premium compliant.



Finally, Microsoft will be making it easier for users to get manufacturers to take action when it comes to bad driver releases. Often times, an application or game can be completely or partially crippled due to a bug in the driver or just one that is poorly designed. Windows Vista will allow users to vote for the quality of a driver that they install and all drivers that wish to pass the Windows Vista Premium logo program must meet a Green status, which is a rating of 7 to 9. Any driver that is rated below it will cause the accompanying device to fall out of Premium compliancy and the manufacturer must supply users with a fixed driver within 90 days. How will Microsoft will enforce this policy remains to be seen, but it's definitely a step forward in creating stable and secure Windows systems.



The Windows Vista Premium logo program ensures that users will get a top-notch experience out of their machine, and is also in place to make sure that manufacturers build quality products. Features such as DQR will help ensure that Windows Vista computers will be a big improvement over Windows XP.

Pelo menos o Windows Vista dá a opção de remover directamente os controlos ActiveX instalados, o que não acontecia no XP.


Devo dizer que estou surpreendido com a qualidade do IE7+ (a versão especial para o Vista).
Não tenho dúvidas em afirmar que é o melhor browser do mercado, Safari's, Opera's e Firefox'es incluídos.
Aídna outro dia houve uma falha de energia aqui na zona e quando voltou, o Firefox 1.5 instalado no WinXP SP2 voltou a revelar a fragilidade do sistema de bookmarks..., desapareceram todos, sem deixar rasto.
É algo que se arrasta há séculos sem uma solução à vista por parte da fundação Mozilla.



Extremamente rápido, intuitivo, interface atraente e muito mais lógico, pré-visualização das tabs, seguro (nem o Ad-aware tinha resultados de 0 ficheiros encontrados após uma semana a usar o FF1.5, e este é constantemente a não encontrar nada :D).
Claro que há este ou aquele bug ocasional em pormenores do rendering de algumas páginas, mas de resto, está muito, muito bom para uma versão Beta do IE7+, incluída num SO ele próprio aínda em versão Beta 2.
Nem o IE7 no XP me parece tão estável e seguro.


Em relação a quem perguntou, por curiosidade instalei no meu Media Center "home-made" e corre que é um mimo.
Nunca pensei que um Athlon XP "Barton" 2600+ (default, 1.92GHz), apenas 768MB de RAM DDR333 single-channel numa Nforce 2 400, com uma GF6600 AGP8x 256MB (non-GT),UPS da MGE e uma SB Live Player 5.1 ficasse com todos, repito, todos os drivers instalados sem intervenção da minha parte logo à primeira, e com o interface AERO Glass a funcionar perfeitamente.
Até o som funciona, nem sei bem como, lol (deve ser um driver da própria Microsoft, pois a Creative Labs não vai escrever drivers da Live 5.1 para o Windows Vista).

E isso é a maior dor de cabeça para webdesigners. Vêm-se obrigados a arranjar hacks para que a página fique como deve ser. Espero que para o 7 cumpram estrictamente os standards W3. :grumpy: Já tive dores de cabeça enormes por causa do "domínio inevitável" no mercado dos browsers do IE6.
