About that Vista API challenge
-
where it says, under rules: The articles must focus on Vista-specific technology. This means the focus is more on the Vista API rather than on, say, .NET 3.0. What exactly does that mean? For example, I google "Vista API" and I get garbage. Anyone have a link to the "Vista API"??? (That's probably really a dumb question, but it's Monday. One dumb question is allowed, right?) Marc

There's NO excuse for not commenting your code. -- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

Thanks! Only one question: Wow64GetThreadContext Wow64SetThreadContext Wow64SuspendThread Why does Vista have API's for World of Warcraft? ;P Marc

WOW stands for Windows on Windows, i.e. 32bit apps running under 64bit windows. The same thing happened when 32bit windows came out. 16bit apps were/are supported using a WOW environment for 16bit apps and provides a thunking layer. Vincent

Vista has world of warcraft API because microsoft will soon be taking over Blizzard. Don't you know anything? :P
Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Finally, something for XAML to do. And besides, it'll probably get Microsoft's stock out of the 5 year doldrums. All in all, a good move! Except for the game players. As you swing your +5 giant bane sword of greater lightning resistance, the game decides to do a garbage collect and the giant cleaves your head off! Marc

Actually it will probably just continue down the same part of bugs and lag.. and constant server restarts after a patch to fix the bugs heh.

Gee, and I thought that was just a DDO problem. :sigh: Though, the fact that we can play these games in near real time with people around the world is, well, incredible, IMO. Marc
