Windows Vista Hardwareviraussetzungen

Wow, op der TechEd 2005 huet den Nigel Page, „strategist“ vu Microsoft, e pur ganz interessant Detailer zum Vista (Ex-Longhorn) bekannt ginn. Wierklech liesenswert. E gudde Résumé:

He told APC today that Vista would work best on a video card with more than 256MB RAM, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a S-ATA 2 hard drive.­

An dann déi obligatoresch Horrorszenarioen:

„The horse has really bolted with respect to DVDs. They’re out there, people cannibalise them all the time with DVD decrypters and people can get movies off them like there’s no tomorrow.“
„If only digital outputs are in use, it [Longhorn] will then check a display has HDCP capability – high bandwidth digital content protection. The communication between the video card and the device is encrypted and only decrypted by the display device itself.“
„If you don’t comply with PVP, we’re going to downscale the quality upon playback… you’re going to get a lower quality version; you’re not going to get the high def content the way it was intended to be viewed. You’ll find that most plasma displays have HDCP already. But this isn’t available in computer monitors. I have not been able to find a single monitor that supports it. We are going to see a lot of change in this space.“
„There’s a LOT of encryption and decryption going on. We communicate on the PCI Express bus in a fully encrypted format because it is considered a public bus.“

An ech hu geduecht dass ech dës Woch e moderne PC bestallt hätt. Mee deen huet nëmmen 1 GiB RAM, 64 MiB Video-RAM, keen S-ATA2. Gutt dass Vista mer net drop kënnt :-)
