trmancobut the could have fixed itSep 15 23:26
trmancoain't XP supported till 2012?Sep 15 23:27
oiaohmNot that simple.Sep 15 23:27
zlgif they are shipping netbooks with XP they should support itSep 15 23:27
oiaohmThe tcp/ip stack in XP is basically dead.Sep 15 23:27
oiaohmIts based on a known defective version of the BSD tcp/ip stack.Sep 15 23:28
trmancoyesSep 15 23:28
trmancobut they said they would support the OS until the year I mentionedSep 15 23:28

oiaohmThe big question is XP 64 bit patched.Sep 15 23:30
oiaohmit should be since it uses the 2003 kernel.Sep 15 23:31
trmancoyesSep 15 23:31
oiaohmIf XP 64 is not patched MS is just trying to kill XP.Sep 15 23:31

*PetoKraus has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))Sep 15 23:32

trmancothere is not much of a differenceSep 15 23:34
oiaohmThere is enough that particular drivers fail.Sep 15 23:35
trmancotrueSep 15 23:35
oiaohmEnough to be a pain in ass.Sep 15 23:35
trmancobut the conversioning it not that differentSep 15 23:35
trmancoNT 5.1 for XP and NT 5.2 for XP x64Sep 15 23:35
trmancoit's like Linux 2.6.30 to 2.6.31Sep 15 23:36
oiaohmAnd linux between 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 replaces all drivers.Sep 15 23:36
trmancomaybe not that muchSep 15 23:36
trmanco2.6.30.1 to 2.6.30.2Sep 15 23:36
oiaohmSo does not run into incompadible drivers.Sep 15 23:36
trmanco:-pSep 15 23:37
oiaohmEven 2.6.30.1 to 2.6.30.2 you still replace all drivers.Sep 15 23:37
oiaohmLinux world has the replace all drivers don't have kernel alterations as major annoyances.Sep 15 23:37
trmancowhat do you mean by replacing all driver? recompile them?Sep 15 23:37
trmancodrivers*Sep 15 23:37
oiaohmrecompiling them to match the new kernel.Sep 15 23:37
oiaohmMinor alterations here and there in handling can cause major problems.Sep 15 23:38
oiaohmLike a lock removed here or a lock added there.Sep 15 23:38
oiaohmAnd macro alterations.Sep 15 23:38
oiaohmThese things do effect windows drivers as well.Sep 15 23:38
oiaohmThere are valid reasons for no closed source drivers when it comes to changing kernels.Sep 15 23:39
oiaohmIf you have closed source drivers they have to be provided for the new kernel.Sep 15 23:40
oiaohmtrmanco: Linux did at one point have drivers that were kernel netural.  Back in the 2.0 Linux kernel time.   Basically Linux world learnt some leasons with breaking kernel updates.Sep 15 23:44
trmancothat's a good thingSep 15 23:45
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] #SiriusCorp : kde 4.3 is very stable.Sep 15 23:45
oiaohmI guess you were not around for the lessons trmanco  so you don't understand how much trouble changing a kernel can be.Sep 15 23:45
trmanconopSep 15 23:46
trmancomy first was with 7.04Sep 15 23:46
trmanco2.6.20I thinkSep 15 23:46
oiaohmThat was early 2.6Sep 15 23:46
trmancomy router is still on 2.4 ishSep 15 23:46
oiaohmYes still years latter.Sep 15 23:46
oiaohmYou missed out on it.  MS provide a framework for one driver to be released for many kernel.Sep 15 23:47
oiaohmProblem is not all driver makers make universal drivers.Sep 15 23:47
oiaohmFor MS.Sep 15 23:47
oiaohmSo you would only find out that you had one that was not universal when the OS died.Sep 15 23:48
oiaohmCopyprotection drivers are some of the worst for being picky on kernel change.Sep 15 23:48
oiaohmAnd a large percent of MS XP market is gammers.  So you can guess how that would explode.Sep 15 23:49
trmancoyeahSep 15 23:49
oiaohmSound simple to change from XP kernel to 2003 until you really think about it.Sep 15 23:50
oiaohmI would not want to be the programmer put in charage of pulling it off without having users trying to kill the company.Sep 15 23:50
trmancobut still, I little warning to those drivers guys would make the transition almost unnoticed for manySep 15 23:51
oiaohmNopSep 15 23:51
oiaohmSome of the game makers with the copy protection drivers are out of business yet people love playing the games.Sep 15 23:52
oiaohmYou are dead in the water.Sep 15 23:52
