Gosip? > Vienna penerus Vista

Wah, aku baru baca nih dari sini, yang juga merupakan situs yang bagus bagi pecinta bajakan (termasuk aku) :D

Artikelnya bercerita tentang seorang pria bernama James Kyton yang berbual tentang detail dari sang penerus Vista. Vista sebagai OS terbaru dari Microsoft dikatakan akan punya penerus dengan codename Vienna. Vienna itu ibukotanya Austria ya, kalo gak salah?

Kabarnya, Vista dan Longhorn (server) [dulu aku kira Longhorn itu codename dari Vista] akan digantikan Vienna dan Fiji (server). Kok bisa milih nama yang ada hubungannya sama negara ya? aneh juga. Vienna juga dikatakan adalah nama baru dari Blackcomb, tapi semua masih simpang siur. Prediksinya OS baru ini bakal keluar 2011, lho kalo gitu Vista paling nggak cuma berumur 5 taon dong… baru sadar, sampai sekarang OS di kompie gue cuma XP walaah…. :(

Yang paling menonjol dari OS terbaru ini, bahwa keyboard dan mouse bakal jarang digunakan, karena kita mungkin akan asyik bermain dengan voice recognition yang telah banyak disempurnakan. Jadi mau bikin apa tinggal sebut aje commandnya. Lompatan teknologi yang cukup bagus.

Spek Vienna dan Fiji yang dimuat dalam situs tadi adalah sbb:

Windows Vienna

• The current interface will be completely stripped, no more explorer shells, and taskbars. No start menu. Probably no toolbars, or menus (which already started with Vista).
• Speech Recognition will become a major input device (though it will not replace the keyboard and mouse) and will be supported by most third party applications.
• Many projects from Microsoft’s R&D will come into play, especially from their VIBE research center. A pie-menu is rumored to be used.
• A new version of NTFS wrapped in a more powerful WinFS. No more drives, or files/folders location to worry about. File Management will be done through applications, which will automatically index and sort the files they support.
• Even bundled applications will evolve a lot (compare WMP6 with WMP11).
• Search will part a huge part in Vienna (like it does in the control panel of Vienna)
• Applications with non-managed code will run in a sandbox mode (like IE7 does in Vista), so that security exploits in a single application doesn’t affect the entire OS.

Windows Fiji

• The UI will be updated with things that were originally promised for Vista, along with a more powerful sidebar, which will be more than just a dock for widgets (a.k.a. gadgets)
• .Net Framework will be updated to 3.5 (or maybe even 4)
• WinFS will be applied over NTFS to give us Virtual Folders (or maybe just Saved Searches)
• All bundled application will be updated to newer versions
• Tighter integration with Windows Live. Probably through ‘Codename Nemo’, a media center application thats integrated with Messenger, Spaces, and probably lots of other Windows Live Services.
• We might see Monaco, a music authoring tool, similar to Apple’s Garageband.
• Default playback of HD-DVD (maybe even Blu-ray), Vista currently identifies these disks but cannot play them without an external decoder.
• A more advanced Speech Recognition
• NGSCB will be implemented to make the system more secure.
• New themes, icons, wallpapers, games, and minor tweaks to almost everything.

Bleh kalo emang bener, ini bakal jadi revolusi OS yang cukup menyenangkan. Tapi bagaimanapun perubahan OS pasti terjadi… so, we’ll see ^^
