NEVER85 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Interesting. Hopefully a near finished build. I only beta tested OneCare for MS so I'm not in on this, so hopefully you can share any new details you may find when it's done downloading, Frothy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time before my download finishes MajinDark. But if I do have general comments I might post something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neufuse Veteran Posted January 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2008 for the people waiting for it ? Adds support for x64 EFI another nice improvement • Windows Vista SP1 includes a new compression algorithm for the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) that helps reduce network bandwidth required to send bitmaps or images via RDP. The compression, which can be selected by administrators via Group Policy settings, is transparent to all RDP traffic, and typically reduces the size of the RDP stream by as much as 25-60%, based on preliminary test results.
