"we push TB's of data weekly here"
sparker, where can i sign up to be in your fan club?anyway, i don't see the big fuss about transactional ntfs. transactions have been a part of distributed win32/COM bus logic for years - only before, it was done in house as opposed to being built in to the os.

""we push TB's of data weekly here"
sparker, where can i sign up to be in your fan club?"huh? no fan club.
we're a radio station market. 8 stations between 2 cities. 4 internal production studios.
raw audio adds up. move that from av workstation to av server across the lan and the internal pipe requirements are massive.
never mind the headache of moving thousands of 10MB files across the wan or s2s vpn.
having it built in at the kernel level will allow greater flexibility of software to take advantage of filesystem grouping and such.
when a box crashes, instead of that transfer being halted in the middle and data corrupted...it will aleast fail gracefully.

from my understanding, anyway. i only recently started reading up on transactional ntfs.

i've never had to register a serial number using os x. will this be the same with longorn when a driver needs to be installed and you don't know where the disk is?

yes. also, read the windows black box article i posted.

I'm looking forward to longhorn, only because M$ has spent more money developing it then NASA spent from the inception of the space program until they 'put a man on the moon'.
It better be a hell of an OS.

interesting thing about nasa...did you know that the space station runs on systems less/equal to 386 boxes.
i read an article on the lack of power of space technologies.
same with the shuttle.
hardware that can stand up to the extreme conditions of space travel and space itself combined with the need for low power consumption and waste (heat) output lead scientists to continue using garage built low, low, low end hardware and systems.
the systems which control the station and the shuttle are as dumb as you can get computer wise.
a personal laptop has far greater power than that of the onboard systems for space travel.
except, now their trying to change that with the use of commidity pc hardware.
i also read once that the stealth bomber uses windows. which scares the piss out of me.
nothing like a blue screen of death on a war machine carrying nuclear arms.

"Apple executives have touted the fact that they're bringing the features to market first, dismissing Microsoft as an imitator. At Apple's annual meeting last week, Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs said Microsoft was "shamelessly" copying OS X.
"They can't even copy fast," Jobs said.
But Microsoft group Vice President Jim Allchin said Monday that it was Apple that "became fixated on Longhorn" after Microsoft showed some of its early work on file-searching capabilities at a conference in October 2003.
"I think they saw something that we were doing that was pretty cool," Allchin said.
He called file-searching "only one little piece of what's in Longhorn," and added, "There is a question of how much we should show, so that they can try to copy again.""
