Το DirectX 10 είναι η πιό πρόσφατη έκδοση της ακολουθίας DirectX των διεπαφών προγραμματισμού εφαρμογής πολυμέσων που η Microsoft έχει χτίσει αποκλειστικά στο πιό πρόσφατο λειτουργικό σύστημά της, Vista παραθύρων. Οι ενθουσιώδες τυχερού παιχνιδιού θα είναι σε θέση μόνο να έχουν πρόσβαση σε DirectX 10 μέσω ενός συνδυασμού μια από τις πιό πρόσφατες τηλεοπτικές κάρτες και μια από τις εκδόσεις Vista παραθύρων. Αυτές οι βιβλιοθήκες επιτρέπουν στη χρήση DirectX 10 παιχνίδια στις πλατφόρμες εκτός από Vista της Microsoft, και αυξάνουν τη συμβατότητα υλικού ακόμη και Vista, με να συντάξουν τη γεωμετρία Shaders κάτω στον εγγενή κώδικα μηχανών για την εκτέλεση όπου το υλικό δεν είναι σε θέση την. Δεν θα πρέπει πλέον να αναβαθμίσετε το OS και την τηλεοπτική κάρτα σας για να παίξετε τα πιό πρόσφατα παιχνίδια, αποκαλυφθε'ν Cody Brocious, μηχανικός μολύβδου στο πρόγραμμα Alky. (περισσότεροι…)

A fresh update is available from Microsoft focusing on the microcode reliability of both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista in scenarios where the operating system is integrated with Intel processors. Microsoft informed that the microcode reliability update for Intel processors does not impact only Windows Vista but also Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. But as far as Vista is concerned, the company has been hammering away at the operating system ever since it hit the shelves. This is yet another example of Microsoft taking care of reliability issues affecting Vista. The update is designed to resolve “a possible Intel processor marginality and a potential source of unpredictable system behavior”, according to Microsoft. (more…)

Few days back, I bought Windows Vista Business Upgrade the other day so I could start playing with it. Since I did not want to mess up the configuration of my current computer, I thought I would install Vista on a blank hard drive.

Sounds easy enough, after all the previous versions of Windows required you to have a legitimate copy of an older Windows operating system and simply asked for that copy during the install so they could verify upgrade compliance.

Before installing Windows Vista, I ran the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor on my current system. As I suspected, my video card was not up to Vista standards and the 512MB of RAM was on the low end of what Vista wanted. (more…)

By default, Windows XP will not allow you to use anything but the FAT and FAT32 file systems to format your USB drives. With a little fiddling you can also enable the NTFS file system on your removable devices though. As for whether you would want to, there are pros and cons.

On the positive side, enabling NTFS allows you to encrypt your documents with Windows XP’s built in file encryption (though you should only do this in a Windows 2000 or 2003 domain network). It also allows the use of file compression to stretch the capacity of your disk. You can also use NTFS to allow and deny permissions for individual files and folders within XP, something you can’t do with FAT file systems. You can also set disk quotas. In short, enabling NTFS on flash drives might have several benefits for IT departments that use or issue these devices as standard. (more…)
