    [How-to] MicrowinX Project

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    My comment had no intent of malice, but take it any way you wish. As a side note, I might caution you against making it open-source, as you're not legally entitled to redistribute Microsoft's IP (Minlogon). Copy of the revelant sections of the XP Embedded EULA:

    c.   Redistributable Files. Provided that you comply with the Redistributable Requirements set forth in 
    Section 1(d) below and otherwise comply with the terms of this EULA, Microsoft grants you the 
    nonexclusive and limited right to reproduce and distribute portions of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT 
    as incorporated in Runtimes you create through use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in accordance 
    with the terms of this EULA (the “REDISTRIBUTABLES”) solely for development, testing, and 
    evaluation of your Prototype. You may not redistribute the REDISTRIBUTABLES except as 
    incorporated in your Runtimes in accordance with the terms of this EULA. 

    d.   Redistribution Requirements. If you redistribute the REDISTRIBUTABLES you agree to: 
    (i) distribute the REDISTRIBUTABLES only in conjunction with and as a part of your Prototype 
    that adds significant and primary functionality to the REDISTRIBUTABLES; (ii) not use 
    Microsoft’s name, logo, or trademarks to advertise, market, or promote your Prototype; (iii)
    include a valid copyright notice on your Prototype; (iv) indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Microsoft 
    from and against any claims or lawsuits, including attorney ’s fees, that arise or result from the use 
    or distribution of your Prototype; (v) clearly mark such Prototype as “prerelease” or “beta” version 
    and restrict use in compliance with the time limit specified in Section 2 below; (vi) not permit 
    further distribution of the REDISTRIBUTABLES; and (vii) include a notice to the recipient(s) of the 
    Prototype that such recipient(s) not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Runtimes in the 
    Prototype, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law 
    notwithstanding this limitation.

    If you have trouble interpreting the meaning of this, it is illegal to redistribute any part of XP Embedded unless your user has a valid XP Embedded license AND use it to test/develop/evaluate an XP Embedded image.

    And my project is merely suspended for the time being. Count on it being released alongside with Windows Codename Vienna.

    Diskeeper 2007

    in Technology News

    Posted · Edited by Aegis

    Diskeeper Pro Premier provides unparalleled peak performance for power users and high powered workstation computing, delivering the ultimate high performance to those who need it most.

    Best of all, Diskeeper 2007's revolutionary InvisiTasking™ technology allows vital system performance enhancements, including defragmentation, to occur in real time, on-the-fly. InvisiTasking undetectably taps into unused system resources, providing truly transparent system maintenance.

    In addition, Diskeeper's I-FAAST™ 2.0 (Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology)IFAAST was specifically developed to accelerate the speed of your systems file access time in order to meet the heavy workloads of file-intensive applications. I-FAAST intelligently monitors file usage, and reorganizes those files that are used most for the fastest possible access. Users of applications such as CAD/CAM, database applications, and graphic and video intense applications will experience an astonishing increase in speed and response.

    Remarkably, I-FAAST 2.0 can actually boost file access and creation to speeds above and beyond the capabilities of the system when it was new - as much as 80% faster in some cases.

    Combined with its many other features (hyperlink to features), Diskeeper 2007 Pro Premier will extend the life and increase the efficiency of your systems while greatly increasing workplace productivity.

    With InvisiTasking, except for the exceptional boost in performance, you'll never know it's there because it runs with absolute transparency making your systems faster and more stable than ever.

    Help To Remove File size limit {4Gb} On fat32

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Storing files in the MFT will eventually fragment it. Since the MFT is not ordinarily defragged (only a boot-time defrag will), then the fragmentation piles up and performance can be much worse than FAT32. But the MFT also serves as an index of sorts, so if you do a lot of heavy directory work, then NTFS will be the preferred choice. Ultimately, it comes down to your needs.

    DirectX 10 for XP

    in Windows Vista

    Posted

    That'd be pretty bad to spend a few hundred bucks just for security...Not to mention that flaws can still exist in the code. Server 2003 had relatively few security issues because of a massive code review, but MS didn't have time to do the same for Vista...

    Running Without A Page File

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    A better example would be with XP Embedded then. XP Embedded is based off of the same code as XP Professional, yet I have built many images without a page file present. The argument that there's still a page file buried in the bowels of Windows can't hold here, since the target device was a thin client (i.e. a machine without a hard drive). This image was for my local library, which runs common user applications like Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Adobe Reader, etc. These machines run almost all day with abuse from hundreds of users, yet no one has complained about any system instability :rolleyes:.
