Q&A With Steven Sinofsky at PDC 08

Steven Sinofsky sat down with some convention attendees for a Q&A session. An interesting aspects of this discussion was if it would be possible to install Windows 7 on a notebook with touch capabilities (yes). Windows 7 boot time was another interesting topic. Microsoft changed the way services work in Windows. In Windows Vista services could be set to automatic, manual or disabled. Windows 7 introduces event based services which start if an event triggers them which has an effect on boot time.
