  1. Old post, but yeah, this could be Microsoft's paid astroturfing.
  2. Will Kernelex run on NT, Windows 2000 or XP? These OSes could benefit from newer kernel extensions.
  3. Actually it is the HAL. It can work, but each pc it is moved to needs to be reinstalled over itself. Every different HAL type computer it is moved to would need an in-place reinstall, eg one a hal.dll type, one for halapic.dll, halmps.dll, halacpi.dll, halaacpi.dll, and halmacpi.dll. A question, would using different hardware profiles for the different HAL's work? Eg call one hardware profile hal.dll, one halapic.dll, etc?
  4. Let me be the first to say it then, Vista is awful in every imaginable way. Perhaps it's similar in a way to the transition to XP, in that a 98/nt/me class/era machine couldn't run well with XP installed on it. Even XP doesn't run well with 512 MB of RAM. I've seen whole offices of Dell machines with 256 MB, and it's just mind boggling how people can stand to use it.
  5. Most of it's sales are probably either non-technical users or oem sales. They have to be fudging the numbers somewhere. I miss ME, actually. With the DOS patch it was pretty decent. It could be pretty stable if you didn't constantly install new software that caused dll hell, according to certain slashdot users.
  6. I'm glad at least it's still in the works. I always preferred SP1 for it's speed; if you knew how to keep your computer secure, you never needed it, but MS doesn't provide patches anymore, right? The deal is that SP3 will be the third service pack for Microsoft Windows XP. Microsoft has done a great job keeping this operating systems up-to-date with frequent service packs, as it has only been 3.5+ years since the last service pack was released! (Sarcasm directed at Microsoft, not "98 Guy") I'm assuming you mean a public release, which has been scheduled for "the first half of 2008"-- but based on the current forecast, most are predicting that it will be out sometime next month (April).
