Could Microsoft moving graphics outside OS kernel be a preview of things to come? I’ve often commented to associates how this one move would greatly improve the stability of Windows but that is only a small part considering Microsoft’s desire to break fully into large scale datacenters. One of the huge problems running Windows servers [...]
