Windows 7, Vista’s Successor, to Take Networking Up a Notch
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 5.11.2007
Microsoft had yet to define Windows 7 (Seven), the successor of Window Vista, when it announced that it planned to ship the operating system in mid 2010, but the next Windows platform is slowly starting to take contour.
Back in mid 2007, when the Redmond company first started to talk Windows 7, Gartner approximated that the reason why Microsoft was failing to provide any palpable details about its next operating system was the fact that the product was still a tabula rasa. Meaning that Windows 7 was yet to take shape.
Now Microsoft is promising that while Windows Vista has evolved wireless networking in comparison to Windows XP, Windows 7 will literally blow your mind. “Vista was about making Wi-Fi connections as seamless, manageable and secure as wired networks. The next Windows version is really about taking Wireless networking to the next level by enabling new complete end to end scenarios and experiences that are going to change how windows PCs interact with each other and other devices and nodes over a wireless network,” Microsoft revealed in the details for the job of Software Development Engineer.
The Windows Networking Ecosystem Technologies team will center on a range of new development scenarios focused on building new wireless networking capabilities into Windows 7. In this context, Windows 7 will bring to the table virtualized Wireless design to permit connections to multiple networks simultaneously. But on top of this, Windows 7 will enhance wireless throughput and latency for windows to windows wireless connections.
“As a part of this work, you will be working closely on existing and in-works wireless standards such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.11k, 802.11r, 802.11w. This position will provide you the unique opportunity of working on core wireless areas as well as collaborating with several other key Windows technologies to deliver a complete functional end to end scenario. The work will be in both the Windows kernel and user space”, Microsoft added.

what the he11? microsoft needs to focus on fine tuning vista...many many people are
unhappy with it...uac, drm infection, resource hog...need i go on?
basically people
who bought the so called ultimate version were ripped off, the extras were basically
bull$hit...
dude, they have a team for maintaining xp, a team for maintaining vista and probably even
still a small team for win2k. microsoft doesn't spend all their workforces just on vista.
they really have to keep moving on to the next version. no progress is regression!
microsoft should focus on vista rather than windows 7 or 8.
this damn vista is just
a crap. full of bugs, stupid drm feature, and just an enemy to every software in the
world. since it is not compatable with any of these stuff.
thank god i haven't
bought vista for myself, i have my xp sp2 and i will be stuck with it for some years now.
i tried vista on my office's laptop & it is just a piece of shi............
microsoft employs thousands and thousands of people! they work on all sorts of products
besides windows vista. you just think their whole world evolves around vista? sure they
work hard on it, but thousand programmers can't do more to vista than a good 500 ppl. a
software company will always look ahead, otherwise you don't innovate on the software
market.
