Windows Vienna to feature multiple video cards compatibility

Playfuls.com writes: "There are two things that we gamers should be interested in concerning the next-gen OS (yes Vista is already last gen...): first, Microsoft's intention to release Vienna only in 64-bit version. Although TG Daily said that Windows Blackcomb is currently available in both 64 and 32-bit versions, the Redmond giant made it clear that Vista will be its last operating system to feature compatibility with 32-bit CPUs. The second aspect is what TG Daily calls the "heterogeneous graphics system", which means that Vienna will somehow be compatible with multiple video cards, from different manufacturers."

Awesome I rather wait for this than waste my time on Vista, even if it's a long wait my XP is alright for the time being.

Syko6691d ago

I have a feeling your not the only one that feels like that, lol.

decapitator6691d ago

That would be so awesome. I can't wait till the day that Nvidia and ATI graphics card can co-exist with each other...that'd be the day.

marinelife96691d ago

That's exactly what I was thinking. Forget Vista.

anh_duong6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

true but i heard this will work on a subscription service unlike vista and xp. ms intends to charge people for regular updates and usage a la xbox360. they don't want the cyclical revenue nature of the old business model.

don't believe then google "vienna ms subscription based"

gta_cb6691d ago

"Microsoft says it might also make a subscription-based version of the OS available to consumers, but that's still in flux."

i noticed the words "might" and "version" so im guessing they will just offer different CD keys which you will have to repay every year or something to make it affordable for consumers, but then offer a package like today. well thats what im thinking, anyway if anyone wants a read then look here

What, id prefer them to concentrate on sorting out Vista... or will they just be dumping that soon?

pwnsause6691d ago

well hearing about these rumors of a new Windows OS says it all, they're going to dumb it

mighty_douche6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

*personal plea to Apple*

Push into the gaming market pleeeeeease, ive had enough of being cheated by M$ and their shoddy OS'.....

Cartesian3D6691d ago

I have a Macbook pro with Leopard and XP

Leopard is the most userfriendly THING iv ever used . yes it has little problems but no where near WINDOWS ..

So F***ing FAST , and SAFE .. the only problem that I must have XP beside Leopard (thanks to Bootcamp) is GAMES

GAMES.. steve can u hear me ???

GIJeff6691d ago

If people actually start using macs, then people will write more viruses for them. Macs arn't invinceable, and now they feature PC components.

Bonsai12146691d ago

speaking of apple, i wonder what features from leopard they're going to rip for this new os. i'm willing to bet quick look, time machine, and maybe automator.

Pain6691d ago

Apple did Make those Banners that said 'Get Your Fhoto Copyers Ready'
M$ listined and been hard at work~trying.

gta_cb6691d ago

that companies copy successful ideas from each other which will in end improve their own product which is why competition is good because then for one company to offer something better they will have to improve on that idea or think of something entirely new which is better for the consumer as prices on the older products wouldnt go down as quick :)

competition is good remember everyone while your flaming

Just put the performance bit in focus and it'll be a hit.

Cartesian3D6691d ago (Edited 6691d ago )

but it wont be same as XP ..

because MAIN structure is a problem. they must make a whole new OS for solving that problem.. and they cant get rid of it with just a Service pack or a patch..

and the other problem is EXPENCIVE hardware, u cant buy RAM or graphic cards like before.. (just see the price range for every piece of hardware and compare it to 5 years ago )

when I bought XP , I put a 128Mb ram on my laptop and it get EXTREMELY faster than before . with just 50 BUCKS

but right now u must spend atleast 1000 bucks to have a FASTER experience. (whole new system, not just use another 1GB ram)

Odion6691d ago

thats not true at all, you spend 50 bucks and put in a gig of ram and your going to see noticeable increase in your loading, and the amount of things you can have open

GIJeff6691d ago

you can get 2 gigs of ddr2 dual channel 6400 for 50 bucks on newegg.

Cartesian3D6691d ago

I SAID 50 bucks for FASTER EXPERIENCE ... not 50Bucks for more RAM ..

1GB >>> 50 bucks >>> 2GB

but nothin goin to happen.. vista will eat other 1GB aswell as the first one..

if u not believe me , read some articles about ram usage in VISTA .

anandtech.com

jaja14346691d ago

Vista uses all available ram, by design. Despite what people think, you never want to have RAM just sitting around doing nothing. You always want to have your RAM to have as close to 100% use as possible, which is exactly what Vista does, and XP does to a lesser extent.

However if you just talking about RAM that Vista does not give up when another program is started then yes Vista uses more RAM. But well it's obvious that it would. It's a newer program after all.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio14d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
