“These are good changes that will enable Microsoft to deliver a compelling “Longhorn” release in 2006 and to increase our investments in managed code, the .NET Framework, and WinFX. In particular, because we now plan to deliver “Avalon” and “Indigo” to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, we will greatly increase the reach of these two technologies and will make them even more compelling as developer technologies.”

Outstanding!

I may love ClearType a little bit less, but it looks like Longhorn will bring me a ClearType to love a little bit more.

Thanks to Ian Griffiths, I now love ClearType a little bit less. I won't be turning it off, of course, because it's better than the alternative, but give me IanType!

A few days ago, I wondered what svchost.exe was, and why there were so many instances of that process running on my machine. Now I have the answer.

How many svchost.exe in your Task Manager? http://www.ejball.com/EdAtWork/PermaLink,guid,9401b574-f67d-4c41-b258-8f989d9b1031.aspx http://www.ejball.com/EdAtWork/2003/09/18/HowManySvchostexeInYourTaskManager.aspx Thu, 18 Sep 2003 15:07:28 GMT <p> A few days ago, I wondered what svchost.exe was, and why there were so many instances of that process running on my machine.
