I'm spending this week up in sunny (cough, cough) Seattle. Played in the snow on Hurricane Ridge and came down from the mountain to the Microsoft campus where the Longhorn Server plugfest is underway. We've got a couple of platforms here, testing UEFI (web site) and the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA, web site). WHEA is interesting, esp. the part about how you can "inject" artificial errors to make sure that the architecture is working. First, virtual hardware running virtual BIOS and now virtual errors. Next, the virtual BSOD...
UEFI is stable and there is quite a bit of discussion about what it means for platform vendors, both now and in the future (post server release). Hoping to hear more from Microsoft at WinHEC.
