Microsoft claims Longhorn will be, er, faster

The only reason why its faster is they added a superfetch feature to the prefetcher. If you look at the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\Prefetcher

you will notice in windows xp

EnablePrefetcher = 3 and you will notice in windows longhorn
EnableSuperfetch = 1

Well, guess what? You can put the EnableSuperfetch = 1 in windows xp and get the same speed.

Wow, Microsoft just added a feature that was already there in xp.

MARY JO FOLEY from Microsoft Watch, which is not the Microsoft Watch that Bill Gates keeps going on about, said the Vole has promised some specific things for Longhorn. Mary Jo has updated the story she filed from a partner conference earlier this month.

Longhorn is Microsoft's future OS which will eventually revolutionise all of our lives, no doubt. It will be faster, although obviously not faster to market as it's already well overdue.

According to the article, here, the Voles in the Redmond Vole Hill will deliver some astounding features.

Those include the ability to launch apps 15% faster than Windows XP, boot PCs 50% faster, patch systems with 50% fewer reboots, and let firms migrate to Longhorn 75% per cent faster.

Perhaps if you have a Microsoft watch, you'll be able to time all of these promises as you watch an hourglass slowly turn. µ
