Windows 7 kernel to shrink in size
 

Vole fiddles on while Rome burns




MICROSOFT top boffin Eric Traut has emerged from his smoke filled lab to talk about the future Windows 7 kernel.

The people at Vole have been a mite concerned that the Windows kernels are getting a little bloated and have told Traut to come up with something a little more efficient.

A video of Traut talking about his low footprint Windows kernel has found its way onto the world wide wibble here.

He has called it MinWin, which sounds a bit like a character from the Goon Show. Although the information is interesting enough we really liked the ASCII Windows logo as the beast fires up.
