FPCH Admin AWS Posted February 23, 2009 FPCH Admin Posted February 23, 2009 There is an article on Engineering Window 7 blog about how they engineered the boot screen. Some videos as well as hand drawings are included. Give a pretty good incite into the detail that is gone into for even something seemingly small. As we connect through this blog and through all of those talking about Windows 7 it is clear that folks have a lot of passion around many topics. We learned early on about the passion around the boot/startup sequence and how important it was for that to go by quickly! At the same time, we know that it is really dull to watch a HDD light blink when resuming a machine from hibernate or powering up a machine. To improve this first connection with people, we set out to improve the boot sequence—jazz it up if you will. It sounds pretty easy, but as we looked into solving this we found it is a pretty significant engineering challenge. Our goal was to have fun while having no impact on the boot performance of the system. To explain this engineering and describe the boot sequence, Karen Wong, a program manager on our Core User Experience feature team, authored this post. --Steven Read the full article at Engineering Window 7 Blog Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
