    I was so eager to see how Leopard preformed on my aging PowerBook. It installed, and the computer restarted. I went through the normal setup, and everything seemed nice and polished. So when I got to the Desktop, I wanted to see for myself how the non-transparent Dock looked like at the bottom of the screen. I went into Terminal and entered the following code:

    defaults write com.apple.Dock no-glass -boolean YES killall Dock
    Then after the Dock restarted, and the new Dock was flat and dark, but I realized that something else was different. My eyes floated to the top of the screen to see a non-transparent Menu Bar. Yes! Disabling the 3D Dock made the Menu Bar "normal."

    MinWin: the New Windows Kernel

    By Numberzz, in OSx86,

    One of Microsoft's main OS designers, Eric Traut, had a demo of the next version of the Windows Kernel. Traut ran a stripped-down version of Windows 7 called "MinWin" that included only the core kernel. For the first time Windows NT has been seen without even a GUI. It ran only a miniature web server that would display simple HTML pages, including some pages that showed the task list and other properties of MinWin itself. Thirteen tasks were running: smss.exe, csrss.exe, and svchost.exe were all there, plus the mini web server httpsrv.exe. The OS ran under Virtual PC, and this allowed Traut to show the audience exactly how many resources it was consuming: about 25MB on disk and 40MB of RAM. The OS booted up in about 20 seconds inside Virtual PC. This is remarkably small for Windows. Traut said that he would "still like to see it get smaller."
