Why? If you haven't moved passed NT by now, its about time to just wipe the slate clean and start all over because the time and money you're going to spend trying to upgrade everything to the latest and greatest is going to be absurd.
All modern Windows systems are built on top of Windows NT. Windows 10 is on NT version 10.
Yep. Kernel changes very little. All the other stuff that you actually interact with changes lots.
It's neat because it is a rare test where basically only the kernel is different. So you really get to see Linux vs. NTKernel rather than artefacts of the entire stack.
@scottalanmiller lol, this is probably true, I do remember an article about some os code that was leaked a long time ago and they were quite embarrassed with even some of the comments that was left in the code as well.
Ha ha. Yeah stuff like this dating from the Windows 3 era is bound to be atrocious.
So it's finally happening? I remember hearing they were going to be changing the license to allow for this sort of thing. All I can say is, that's a lot of licensing money you've been prohibiting.
@mlnews Sometimes you just have to wonder about marketing guys "New secure services with Java". Javascript maybe, but Java? That on top of the whole encryption thing, really people.
I'm sure they're amazing, just wish I had a need for one!
Actually Mainframes run insane amounts of traditional Java. Because Java is what replaced COBOL in financial applications and because mainframes are focused primarily on financial workloads, it's a very big deal there.
Ah. That'd explain it then. I'll grant that I'd rather deal with JAVA than COBOL!
It doesn't get much more crazy that this thing. With more computing horsepower than a rack full of normal servers, the fully open source (hardware AND software) Talos II workstation sports two IBM Power 9 RISC CPUs.
