Should I Be Spanked? | |
|
||
| Time: 12:36 EST/17:36 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Watch | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Welcome, XXX.com readers, but I bet you've surfed to the wrong place: Despite the racy headline, we're talking Monad (with an "m," not a "g").
So what's with the spanking reference? Some Microsoft advocates over on the Channel 9 Web site seem to think that's what I deserve for telling the truth about what's happening with Longhorn. (Note to Mr. ManicKernel on Channel 9: You are the one who needs a spanking. And then to be put to bed with some warm milk and a pacifier. All IMHO, of course.) | ||

Forget the spanking. She should be smacked for regularly publishing articles about technical details she has no knowledge of.
Example: At PDC 2003, Microsoft made it clear that "Longhorn" was not a managed OS down to the kernel. They had slides with block diagrams showing both the Win32 and WinFX subsystems side-by-side. They emphasized (especially to C++ devs) that you can still write unmanaged code if perf was the overriding issue (not to mention backward compatibility). No one with a competent grasp of the subject matter should have come away from PDC 2003 with the notion that "Longhorn" was 100% managed code (did she attend/watch any actual sessions?). Even if you were ignorant enough to do so, you would've quickly found this belief to be unfounded if you read any MS (or competent 3rd-party) blogs on the subject, checked the "Longhorn" Developer Center, looked at the slides/presentations from PDC 2003 that were made available to the general public for a limited time for free, watched the .NET Show, MSDN TV, MS Webcasts, etc., or checked the freakin' SDK. Slides from WinHEC followed which pointed out the same thing. Channel 9 coverage pointed out the same thing. It was not something that was hidden nor a "dirty little secret".
