Talk:Technical features new to Windows Vista

message: (moved from Talk:Features new to Windows Vista)
"Windows Vista is the first Windows operating system to include fully integrated support for speech recognition. Under Windows 2000 and XP, Speech Recognition was installed with Office 2003."
What I didn't see was the inclusion of speech recognition in the Tablet PC version of XP. XP Tablet Edition also came with speech recognition installed by default - I played around with it plenty on my Tablet PC. Because the page is locked, I currently can't edit it, but I suggest the following change be made:
"Windows Vista is the first Windows operating system to include fully integrated support for speech recognition. Under Windows 2000 and XP, Speech Recognition was installed with Office 2003, or was included in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition."

message: Logical breaks in the article as it stands are hard to define. Suggestion; Technical (eg; networking, SMB2 etc) broken from User (Speech synthesis, display etc.
The level of detail in each heading is excellent. However, I agree with the too long description. I do NOT want to drop the information by summarising. Am I dreaming? Jacketed 09:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pruning the programmability section 

message: WebDAV, Folder sharing info, DFS Replication, Network projection are networking related parts. They should be moved and "made to fit" somewhere into the Networking article. How about starting an "Other features" section in the Networking article?
:It might be helpful, but I am not trerribly fond of the section title. But in the absense of a better title, we can go ahead with that one, changing it when a better name strikes someone.--soum (0_o) 18:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed that none of the monitoring features are mentioned, and the general tone seems too "hype" and markety. Can this page get a reality check?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.177.113 (talk) 02:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm missing information about the improved ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) support. Basically, in Vista stacks are collected with the events so that you can see exactly where events are fired (i.e. exactly where allocations,disk accesses etc are happening). -- mnemo (talk) 18:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it possible to locate a stolen laptop if someone is using it to gain internet browsing.  I don't know the serial number of an ACER laptop.  Very critical to business  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.65.57.166 (talk) 20:06, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stolen Laptop 

message: "The new audio stack runs at user level, thus increasing stability." seems dubious to me. Simply moving things to user-space doesn't make anything 'more stable' (except the kernel, if the audio subsystem is/was buggy). It can be rewritten in user-space and provide additional stability because the old code was buggy, but simply moving anything to user-space never increases stability. If the rewrite caused additional stability? It is not because it now runs in user-space. I'd actually argue against the statement of moving things to user-space making code more stable, since all code running in user-space is subject to lesser privileges than kernel-code? The kernel can then terminate the user-space code at will. I doubt a kernel module would ever be terminated and unloaded. Then again? I'm not a windows/kernel expert.
If it is meant that it increases stability of the kernel and not stability of the audio subsystem? This should also be made clear.2001:981:9B5E:1:1417:4806:4588:4D36 (talk) 02:13, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
