Microsoft and Intel gathered a bunch of the tech media to talk up their collaborative efforts during the development of Windows 7. As is usual with these events, there was a mix of very technical media (Gordon Mah Ung and Will Smith from Maximum PC were there) as well as mainstream media. The main content actually offered some good technical info on some of the underpinnings of Windows 7.
As is also usual with these sorts of events, both Microsoft and Intel representatives spent time dodging pesky, “off message” questions from mainstream media. Questions about AMD, Apple and other similar topics were deftly and sometimes not-so-deftly dodged.
While what was all very amusing, the tech content is worth talking about. I’m going to touch on a couple of topics near and dear to my heart: multicore performance and energy efficiency.
