Presentation of Windows 7

With the ever-increasing use of computers in today’s world, the need for up-to-date and compatible computer applications, especially operating systems, continues to grow to meet the ever-increasing variety of computer usage as well as the technological demands both of the home and the world. The software giant Microsoft has pioneered the creation of the Windows computer system, which is the most widely used commercial operating system today. But the challenge never seems to stop for Microsoft.

In a recent talk at the University of Illinois, Eric Traut, one of Microsoft’s operating system design engineers, unveiled the next step in the evolution of the Windows kernel. He gave an interesting demo of what the next version of the popular operating system would look like. With the help of a team of about 200 computer engineers, he innovated many of the key features of Windows, including virtualization technology such as Virtual PC and Virtual Server, boot sequencing, memory management, and core scheduling. kernel. Although the development of the newest Windows package is an ongoing effort, Traut was able to demonstrate how the next Windows would improve upon current versions of the computer’s operating system program and integrate recent computing technology such as multiple CPU cores, virtual machine and other improvements.

Codenamed Windows 7, the next newest version epitomizes Microsoft’s determination to integrate recent advances in computing technology. Its code name is derived from the numbers of Microsoft’s internal operating system: the first of which is Windows NT, Windows 3.1, the “Classic” Windows or Windows 92, Windows NT 5 or Windows 2000, Windows NT 5.1 or Windows XP. and Windows NT 6 or Windows Vista. You can actually check the “NT number” of the version of Windows you are using by typing “winver” at the command prompt on any of these operating systems.

During the demo at the University of Illinois, Traut showed off a stripped-down version of Windows 7 called “MinWin” that showed only the core kernel and demonstrated how Windows NT runs “naked,” so to speak, without the interface to disguise it, but just as a simple web server that would display simple HTML pages, some of which illustrated the task list and properties of the “MinWin” demo. During the demo, Traut showed how to run different tasks, most of which are familiar to computer users, such as smss.exe, csrss.exe, and svchost.exe, as well as the mini web server httpsrv.exe. Using Virtual PC, Traut was able to demonstrate how Windows 7 runs and its system requirements, such as 25MB on disk (compared to 14GB for a full Vista installation) and 40MB of RAM.

However, Windows NT is still in continuous development. More importantly, it allowed Microsoft software developers to address problems in the Windows operating system and allowed them to make necessary improvements to the core and virtual machine technology without compromising backward compatibility and resource management. As a result, it was possible to fix, improve performance, and maximize the use of a higher level of computer hardware technology, yet still be able to run multiple versions of Windows. Microsoft believes that with these improvements the power of computing technology will continue to grow and improve the core operating system and other server applications. Truly, Windows NT 7 is an idea whose time has come.
