Windows 8 News

Here we are Live at PDC 2009 again this morning for keynote day 2! After talking to some great people yesterday at the conference and going out for drinks afterward, I just may still be a little drunk still! I do have some bad news, we may be at the wrong place too! Wrong Place?

Google just announced this morning that a special Chrome OS event will be held at its headquarters in Mountain View, CA tomorrow morning! Considering Chrome OS has Microsoft freaking out lately, there will most likely be some shocking news released! Will this keynote day 2 bring up any surprise Windows 8 News? I wish! I also wish I could make it to the Google release, but if you are interested in the Google OS news check Windows 8 Forums for updates on the Google chrome OS tomorrow! So.. PDC 2009!

What does the PDC keynote have planned for us today? Scheduled to speak: Steven Sinofsky, Scott Guthrie, and Kurt Delbene! Steven Sinofsky is the man responsible for Windows 7 and the future and reason this site exists with Windows 8! Read the rest of this entry »

In my endless search for tiny details hidden behind the scenes at Microsoft via linkedin, I came across a Microsoft Senior Research & Development employee: Mr. Morgan. I guess Microsoft employees need some training about exposing company secrets! He posted a few updates in the last 3 days to his linkedin profile that I find extremely interesting:

“Robert Morgan is working to get IA-128 working backwards with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”

“Robert Morgan is using Hestia (custom software package) for experimenting with the processor for scientific analysis and 3D graphics. Error: Memory Latency? Always gotta be a challenge barrier, it’s gotta be a bug in Hestia. right?!”

“Robert Morgan is frustrated with process standards and regulations! Delays Delays!”

I added Mr. Morgan to my LinkedIn friends list, but he has not responded to any messages I sent to him. WOW what a find: WINDOWS 8 128 BIT! That’s Insane!!!! Didn’t we just get x64 less than 5 years ago? But, let’s face it we are in a recession; the next big products won’t be released until companies are ready to take a risk, but based on this they are far ahead of where we are today in the lab. Stay Tuned, I’ll try to find more, but I don’t think I can top this, Windows 8 x128 is a big deal
