Early Vista/Longhorn: Compatible Or Not So Much? | |
|

Microsoft sources say that as of just a few months ago, the company itself could not get early internal code for the upcoming the client- and server-side Windows operating system to work together in house. While some glitches are to be expected, Microsoft's story (and the company officially denies a problem with interoperability) is that both client and server are based on the same code and on common subsystems. That would make it seem that such big interop problems would not occur at all. However, trusted sources confirm the glitch story. Asked if there was a disconnect between early server and client code working together at Microsoft a source close to the work said: "This is entirely true…when all this started back it was to be a single code base for all these things, and in particular Indigo [the communications subsystem]. Last year, when they started again with the client, there was a fork in the code base, so the components of Indigo on the client are no longer the same components in the server," he noted. | ||

FUD, FUD, and more FUD.
The source trees have not forked yet. A single code base is used to build both Vista and Longhorn Server. I'd expect these to fork once Vista is RTM'd, just like how Server 2003 forked once XP RTM'd. Enough with these anonymous "trusted sources." |

#1: Not to be a provocateur, but why should anyone believe you, an anonymous untrusted source?

| "A bifurcation of effort occured..." I think that pretty much sums it all up... |

#2, You don't have to. When MS releases bits for Vista and LH Server you can see for yourself. I'm calling FUD on this as well for the same reasons as PB. This is tabloid tech "journalism". This post was edited by n4cer on Friday, May 19, 2006 at 16:31. |

#4: I don't know one way or the other. Patriot sounds like he has inside knowledge based on the vehemence of his claim. And even if it was the case, big deal. Beta thing A doesn't work with Beta thing B. Film at 11. I'm sure it will work when released.

| I am surprised at Andre for posting this. Maybe he got a hold of some bad habanero peppers? LOL |

| It's just an article, andre didn't write it. |
