In fact it doesnt look like winfs is really whole new FS at all. It looks like its a bunch of services that is integrated with the current NTFS filesystem to allow it to have more features, like the spotlight feature in OSX. Its more of a storage system (as said in the windows website) then it is a whole new file system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS
Fat32 can be converted to NTFS without a reformat... Chances are that the same will apply with any new MS file systems in the future... Wow I didnt know that. What software do you use to convert without axing the data. Im guessing using something like magic partitioner will do
hehe whoops i meant to say linux instead of leapord =P And by linux i meant distros not the kernel =P
Heh im usually the first to mention linux when the time comes.... but this aint about linux. I would expect this to be the best because noone knows how to protect windows, better than microsoft. It all depends on much resources they spend on protecting windows rather then putting in new features.
And this is the first time that I claim that all longhorn has is the API. Cause seriously thats all it looks like Longhorn is changing. I was real excited for Monad, but that got the axe . Guess OSX and leapord will still be leagues ahead when longhorn comes out.
A couple things... WinFS, despite its name, is not a new file system. The Longhorn file system will still be NTFS. WinFS is a OS component that indexes files for easy search like Google Desktop Search or Apple's Spotlight do. This I would think to be true, because It will be hard as hell to imp
Heh you damn right Im ignorant. BUT i do know whats what and I have been around. And I DO know that microsoft is one of the last companies to fail in the face of the hype it produces. Microsoft has said a lot of things will be in Longhorn. And After reading and reading, a lot of things have been cut. What besides the damn API is coming out with Longhorn. I have not read on anything big that MS is doing with Longhorn. No Im not
Well this was an interesting topic, but Ill tell you im exhausted. It was nice debating with some of you guys.
Oh, come on...no need to be silly. What is 'going against' anything is the belief of 'some' that subsequently 'sharing' that recoloured skin is not a violation of copyright. Where exactly is the Mac infringement? Wincustomize.com strives to accept any and all requests for IP protection/respect as and when notified by the
The gov could make it illegal to use the internet. Thats easier to enforce
Is the software you are paid to make distributed under the GNU license? Why not? This ruling wasn't about pirates. It was about companies who profit from piracy. It's bad enough that I, as a software developer, don't get paid when someone pirates the things I make. But it's insult to injury that scum like Kazaa are p
Nicely put.... *************** So much of this 'argument' is claimed to be about 'us and them'....them being the Law makers/fat-cats/establishment....and 'us' being the Internet cognicenti who purport to know what property law is...and invented ethics on some lazy Sunday Arvo. Every peanut who is
I'd REALLY like to go to these "IP ought to be free" people, make them work for free and just claim that they aren't entitled to pay because the product of their work should be free. Ok I think its official that people really to research some things or shut up. How do you think linux was made? People
I think you are a bit off topic. ObjectDock, while it may be similar to Apple's interface, is NOT the same. It is different both in the appearance and the underlying code. If one or both were the same I am sure that Apple's lawyers would be talking to Brad. What this thread started with was a court decision about the "sharing" of
since you insist on quoting my discourse apocalypse67 i must assume you are referring to my argument(s) specifically. ofcourse you may simply be generalizing. firstly, i have not mentioned anything about 'forcing anyone to share their work'. nor do i contest the right or say that it is wrong for an author to profit from thei
au contraire S3vyn i beg to differ. what 'we are talking about here' is control of information. who will control that information & how it will be controlled. 'what america' and western democracy stand for is the right to exploit a resource whether that emerges from original thinking or as a result of simple political expediency.
Not exactly, and again this is the misconception part of it all. The developers that created these software that we like so much and that enables each person to 'decorate' their desktop as they wish, did so with the purpose that each individual would create their own themes and adorn their own desktop. They were not created to 'f
why yes. my point exactly apocalypse67. people's opinions cannot simply be categorized into either those who 'make a living out of their work' and 'ones that just wants to freely take other people's work' perhaps context is important afterall. perhaps also the issue of copyright is not simply one that can be so easily
Lot to respond to so lets do it at once =P So, by your logic, because some countries practice genocide, then that makes it okay, as long as you don't believe it's wrong? And the term Intellectual Property (as I understand it) just means "I created it, but it's not something you can hold in your hand, b
This descition is up to the artist/creator not up to the general public to decide what is free to view/observed/obtained. As an artist it's my sole descition to create something of my own imagination using my hands and tools to render a final product and it is that same determination that will make me choose to share it for f
Ahh, in a perfect society you can just browse out of this page and free your self from the soap boxes. And I would love to see your reaction if you was ever to create something of your own to earn a living and I would come along and take what you have made and give it out for free. Hell, I can even pass it as my own creation s
Ka806: So are you saying that software (and other so-called intellectual property) should paid for unless someone doesn't want to, and then they can have it for free? So, my work as a software developer and a recording studio owner/engineer would be as a volunteer? Exactly how do you see this working? As for the soap boxes
Society determines what is or is not Lawful, and likewise 'ethical'. Unfortunately, for 'file-sharers' they actually are in the minority within society, which has determined that 'some' of their actions are not acceptable and has ruled such. It's frustrating when those who 'know it all' as young adults have their d
Oh...what utter bull-shit. Go 'admire' your ART in a Gallery....[assuming there is no entry fee]...or spend serious money to 'own' it in your own home....that's a fact of life, and always has been. You DO realise that those great works of the Masters that people admire so much were 'commissioned'.....look it up...it's und
When you think about it what MS is trying to do is STAGGERING....creating a totally new file system, GUI - all 3D, & doing it to accomodate BOTH 64 & 32 bit platforms simultaneously with slower scaled down versions for the multitude of PC's out there - that was never a concern with any Win9x or Xp programs. A monumental nightmare
