And the "Smart Caching" and "Disk Optimization" will function how...?

Basically, you'll be able to boot up instantly if you want to just play a movie or your music and don't need the whole OS to bootup. Besides that, regular boot-up, and resume from standby/hibernate will also be faster.

MS is working with hardware partners to bring in hybrid hard-drives with non-volatile flash memory. That's going to be really cool!

Oooh and how will this "Windows Diagnostics" feature function in Longhorn... what and how? How indepth will it be?

They didn't really talk about that aspect of it today. I know someone inside. Will try to find out something.

**gonaads** · April 26th, 2005

You're havin too much frickin fun ain't ya?

**NetRyder** · April 27th, 2005

Heh, thanks for the reps, muzikool.

Blog updated again. Less pictures, more info this time. Not really anything that I can take pictures of during the breakout sessions.

Had the blogger lunch today. That was awesome. Had a chance to get lots of info about LH. Will post all of that and pictures sometime later.

**gonaads** · April 27th, 2005

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Jewelzz again.

Sorry!

I went to and IBM iSeries conference this week... not near as cool though.

**NetRyder** · April 27th, 2005

Another update. Lots of Longhorn questions answered this morning at the bloggers lunch. Good info if you're interested.

No, but I did get a picture taken dressed as a Formula 1 driver, behind a Ferrari next to a very cute girl from AMD. I'll post that when I get access to a scanner.

**gonaads** · April 27th, 2005

Cool... More reading sozz I can't go to sleep. And hurry up and find a damn scanner.

**NetRyder** · April 27th, 2005

Just added some pictures too.

Off to bed now. Another early day tomorrow.

**Khayman** · April 27th, 2005

**Electronic Punk** · April 27th, 2005

*cough* ahem *cough*

Sorry, I need some cough medicine.

Is my memory wrong or didn't MS have a frozen roadmap earlier this year... an RTM date that wasn't to be changed? Holiday season 2006 is pushed back further from what I remember, and I didn't think they were going to push it back anymore.

**gonaads** · April 27th, 2005

You need cough points?

Damn... I think I cured his cough.

**NetRyder** · April 27th, 2005

Posted an update on Avalon and Aero. That was a fun session.

It will be code-complete by mid-2006, but will be publicly available during the holiday season. This is based on an answer we got from Joe Peterson at the bloggers lunch yesterday.

**NetRyder** · April 29th, 2005

So I'm finally back in LA. Woke up at 4AM this morning...ick! But yeah...I had a great time up in Seattle during the last few days. I'm sure most of you could figure that out from my posts on the blog.

Can undoubtedly say it was well worth the trip.

I've updated the blog with some more info and links that are worth looking at. Sorry about not being able to get any info about IE7, guys. The session was a big disappointment, especially since it was one that I was actually looking forward to yesterday. Oh well...

Anyways, hope you all enjoyed reading the blog during the last few days and had a chance to learn some new stuff.
