Windows 7 will enhance support for Hyper-threading

"Our work on the Windows 7 Scheduler and the core of the system can give full play to these technologies (Hyper-threading) and ultimately lead to a more advanced and better experience for users," Veghte at the teched 2009 conference in Los Angeles. ”

This is really good news for Hyper-threading technology, which is often seen as chicken ribs. As early as the Pentium 4 era, hyper-threading has aroused widespread concern, but due to the processor architecture, system software support and other reasons, has not been too obvious advantages, sometimes side effects, and then canceled. On the latest Nehalem architecture, Intel has brought back the Hyper-threading, which is a lot better than it was a few years ago, but there are few 3D games and apps to support it, and now the underlying support for the operating system will undoubtedly be a powerful booster.

Veghte also said that Microsoft is working to ensure that Windows 7 is no longer plagued by similar Windows Vista compatibility issues and is very, very close to being completely compatible with almost all important hardware and software. "In the RC phase, more than 10,000 software and hardware business companies were involved in the development of Windows 7 and pledged their support (for the new system)." We have to get the whole ecosystem fully and completely ready. We put a lot of energy into this. At the individual level, this is one of the top three priorities. ”

Veghte also disclosed that Microsoft is expected to complete its Windows 7 development work around mid-August and provide final versions to consumers and business customers in time for the year-end shopping season.
