"SuperFetch, ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive: some new feature names for you
Although feature names aren't the most exciting thing to talk about, I do
like to get them right if I can (although I'm still getting my mind around
the 2007 Microsoft Office System).

Anyhow, we've just finalised the names of some Vista features - the three
that form part of the performance-enhancing aspects. I've mentioned
SuperFetch before and you may have come across features codenamed EMD and
Piton."

Does anybody know of a good USB Memory sticks that currently work great with
Windows Vista, I am hearing stories of it not functioning so well yet. Leave
a comment, I would love to read your experiences. I am really hoping to see
so significant performance improvements in the BETA 2/RC1 release, Vista
currently is not up to par yet in areas such as boot time, logging into the
desktop is fast though, but this true even today with Windows XP. Its
possibility to get that seamless instant on and off experience, investing in
a new PC might be my only avenue. The Viiv PC's from Intel with Instant on
and off technology looks like a solution.

FYI the 'Instant On' functionality may not be so straightforward. It reads
as a mute on video and audio output on this page:

I wish some new technology could put me into sleep mode (

My understanding of Instant On is, its really feature of certain types of
CPU's that are just coming out on the market using VIIV processor from
Intel. It basically puts all devices in sleep mode.

Still plenty of options to put you to sleep, coming straight from MS
Press... :^)

 

[Andre Da Costa [Extended64]]

Exactly and they do put you to sleep. I still love doing the occasional
reading, I don't consider it back in the day technology. If you look around
us, there are newspapers, magazines, text books. I find it easier to read a
book than to read a PDF version of that book, I am not restricted to my
screen or batter power.
