ive hacked the win xp kernel

correct me if im wrong but doesn't the microkernel architure scale better then the monilithic one. and im talking about unix, not windows, im suprised its scales to 2+ proccessers

pkd_lives:
Yeah it scales better, but it requires closer attention to programming requirements, otherwise you can end up with entire processors locked out, and it can suck memory like no body's business.

As a solution for single or even dual boot processors, I am yet to be convinced of it's efficacy.

Such a system makes sense when you have hundreds of processors under system calls. You can attach processing power according to the complexity of the commands, and break it down from there, but trying to do that on a single processor home computer, I have to ask what is the point? it's introducing complex programming architectures into systems that will never use the benefits to be gained.

I am fully convinced that the main reasons M$ brought out the NT based stuff, was to justify their expenditure in OS/2 and to use up the processors, to stimulate processor sales for their hardware partners, who were starting to suffer some time ago. I could be wrong, but unless there are benefits to this system that I don't know about (quite possible I will admit) I see no point to it as a home based solution. Hmm, actually game multi-tasking environments might be a home based one, but even then, if you want true multitasking you need more than one processor.

"The Windows XP kernel is more advanced that you mere Linux lords can possibly imagine. The meager Linux kernel cannot compare."

Oh...so is that why programs and Windows itself crashes?  :D

Let me put it this way...BMW 745iL, lots of flash, expensive and has the IDrive system(which is on winCE if i remember correctly), ~330 horses at +92 grand, long story short, advanced. And in the other lane, a souped up Nissan 300zx twin turbo at about 600hp. About 10 grand for the car, 20-40 grand in mods and maintenance. Pricewise compared to 750iL, meager. Which one would you rather have, and which one would win in a race?

sporkme:
ooooooohhhhhh.... so xposerVI X XI XII IX XV XVI....

you have seen the source code for the kernel then?  and i assume you tried and tried but you just couldn't improve the fucker!  it must be perfect!

DO US ALL A FAVOR AND REFRAIN FROM TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS (THEN KILL YOURSELF)

his response:
"yeah i looked at the source code, it had numbers and letters and smiley faces!  i used the powerful programming tool that comes free with every copy of windows, "notepad" and i can even use word wrap and find!"


edit:
derp, you fucker, derp   :confused:      :confused:      :confused:   asl? lets cyber press 1

oh and speedfreak, i am with you on the 300z car

i have a 77 datsun 200sx and a 92 300zx
