Inside the Windows Vista Kernel 298
Reader trparky recommends an article on Technet (which, be warned, is rather chaotically formatted). Mark Russinovich, whose company Winternals Software was recently bought by Microsoft, has published the first of a series of articles on what's new in the Vista kernel. Russinovich writes: "In this issue, I'll look at changes in the areas of processes and threads, and in I/O. Future installments will cover memory management, startup and shutdown, reliability and recovery, and security. The scope of this article comprises changes to the Windows Vista kernel only, specifically Ntoskrnl.exe and its closely associated components. Please remember that there are many other significant changes in Windows Vista that fall outside the kernel proper and therefore won't be covered."

Proper care for your Vista "Beast"
1) Feed it plenty of CPU cycles. Preferrably multiple cores.
2) Give it obsene amounts of memory. 2.5G preferable.
3) This one seems to really enjoy Video Ram as wll, probably it tastes better. 256M advised.
4) Keep feeding it a constant supply of disk space. Interestingly enough, this version seems to consume HD space simply with doing nothing.
Thats the basics folks. Give your Vista beast what it needs and you should have a kind of good experience. At least for at least 6 months or so... Then you must slay the beast and re-install..

Are you kidding? You think that the design staff at Microsoft writes most of the Vista articles posted on Slashdot?
