Windows 7 will be Unix like!?
There are rumors from with in the community is that windows 7 is going to be a lot more unix like than previous versions, it’s going to be a lot more modular.
See, MS have known for a long while that Linux and Darwin (OSX), are so much more efficient because they only ever require restarts when major kernel changes are made.
So windows 7 is likely to be more unix like in the fact that the GUI will run seperately from the kernel, as will explorer, more along the lines of Linux, or OSX, where the GUI can be shut down just leaving the console.
In fact, It seems likely that Windows 7 will not be very backwards compatible without something like wine.
That also means that Windows won’t be getting attacked by any viruses or malware any time soon!
Is this true? If it is then isn’t this good news?
Apparently so as I have heard the same. If this turns out to be the case then it can only be a good thing.
Good luck.
