How Vista screws dual-booting nirvana

Declan Kennedy at APC Magazine has written an interesting analysis looking at Microsoft's suspicious lack of advancement in OS boot technique.

Put simply, Vista will still overwrite the master boot record with no regard for any other boot loader that may be present.

But Kennedy also describes how, with the right boot loader configuration, you can setup a dual-boot system that allows you to switch between Windows and Linux without having to reboot either OS, using hibernation.

His observations open up interesting possibilities for Mac users too. Boot Camp would be considerably more useful if it didn't involve closing all applications and fully restarting the system each time. If it were just a case of sleeping one OS to switch to the other, it'd be the next best thing to perfect virtualisation. Will Apple implement this in time for Panther?..

Could Mac OSX run Windows apps natively?

Once Intel chips landed inside Macs and Boot Camp made its debut, it got a lot harder to blame rumor mongers for making a certain leap: Mac OS X could one day run Windows apps sans-Windows. Indeed, projects like the open source Wine have facilitated some of this functionality, albeit in a limited fashion, for some time now. But a new discussion on a Wine mailing list could refresh hope for those looking to get their Frankenstein on with Mac OS X and Windows computing.

The discussion begins with a mailing list message called Interesting Behavior of OS X, in which Steven Edwards describes the discovery that Leopard apparently contains an undocumented loader for Portable Executables, a type of file used in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. More poking around revealed that Leopard's own loader tries to find Windows DLL files when attempting to load a Windows binary.

Ubuntu targets 10 second boot time for 2010 release

In an email to developers of the Linux distribution Ubuntu, Canonical's Scott James Remnant explained how they hope to achieve a 10 second boot time with Ubuntu 10.04, the version to be released in 2010, after 9.10 is released this fall. The projected speed improvements come with changes to the kernel, such as making the X.org server, which controls the display elements in Linux, load up quicker. The boot process will divided into sections with time budgets: two seconds for Kernal and initramfs, Plumbing (drive loader), and X.org server; and four seconds for the desktop session and other services. "This benchmark time is to a fully logged in desktop (auto-login) with an idle CPU and Disk.

VistaBootPRO Released!

NeoSmart Technologies and PROnetworks recently worked together on a much wanted application for Vista. This program is mainly a User Interface to modify Vista's bootloader behaviour and settings. The main modifications it can operate are adding an entry, modify it, or remove one of them easily. The biggest features of it are for sure Bootloader removing and backups support.

Particularly useful as Microsoft bloated the bcdedit Boot loader editor with crypted and misleading commands. Another nice touch about it is that it can be used to recover a broken Windows installation if the problem is related to boot sector.

Microsoft signs Seinfeld

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer must be tired of seeing the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads from Apple that portray PC as a fat, middle aged, balding person. They’ve brought out a big gun to combat this pop culture phenomenon of an ad though: his name is Jerry Seinfeld.

Microsoft really are serious about finally burying the cool Mac guy and the dopey PC guy ads. Hiring Jerry Seinfeld to do their latest commercial is said to have set the Redmond, Washington, based company back a hefty US$300 million the Wall Street Journal reports. Seinfeld will be one of the key personalities involved and will appear next to Bill Gates in the ads.

Group Test: Firefox 3 vs IE 7 vs Safari 3.1

A few short years ago the browser war seemed dead and buried. After Microsoft’s Internet Explorer usurped Netscape’s Navigator in the late 1990s, it’s domination of the Internet seemed complete, over 95 percent of us using a version of IE.

Those days are gone. The guts of Navigator were reborn in 2004 as Firefox, a browser that has been drinking more and more of IE’s milkshake ever since. Firefox now owns at least 18 percent of the market, with some estimates giving it more than a quarter. More recently, Apple has threatened to start a three-way fight, using the software updater included with iTunes to slip its Safari browser onto PCs. While its market share is miniscule – less than one per cent among PC users and around three per cent overall –Safari offers a PC users a credible third choice.

Meanwhile, IE 7 is groaning under the weight of bad press, criticised for its instability and sluggish performance. Apple is trumpeting Safari 3.1 as the world’s fastest browser, while Firefox 3 – which is now out of beta and into the Release Candidate stage – is claimed to be over twice as speedy as its predecessor.
