Paul Thurrott: Microsoft's New MinWin Kernel Still Not So New | |
|
||
| Time: 00:41 EST/05:41 GMT | News Source: Windows SuperSite | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Paul Thurrott has updated his article based on a December 2007 Channel 9 video starring Microsoft Fellow Mark Russinovic If you follow tech news at all, you may have seen reports recently that Microsoft is preparing a leaner new kernel for the next major Windows release, codenamed Windows 7. Dubbed MinWin, this new kernel is notable for a few reasons. First, it's the first major bit of actual news about Windows 7 yet revealed. And second, it suggests that Microsoft is preparing to push Windows into even more markets, since the current version of this kernel can run in as little as 40 MB of memory. | ||

"Server Core is 1.2 GB in size, a "pretty big chunk," as he says. MinWin/7 as we know, will be much smaller. Thus these two things are completely different."
Hey Paul, notice how he didn't catch himself there???? |

| The last time I checked, Paul Thurrott is a journalist, not a Program Manager for Microsoft Windows. |

I guess it would be a matter of semantics.
The work to modularize the Kernal is a multi year project that started with Longhorn/blackcomb Time frame. I would disagree that the work in vista/2k8, is the same as the minwin in windows 7. namely for the reasons mentioned. There was a concerted effort to rearchetech the kernel in win 7 as compared to the work done in 2008 which striped away parts of the shell and made sure those calls where not made in the Server core. But the work done is evolutionary from the work started as MS did state that is the concerted effort with the Kernel over the next few versions (believe they said 3 to 5 versions) el |
