vista and lognhorn beta3 "Jordi Maycas" <jmaycasNOSPAM[ at ]hotmail.com> 5/2/2007 10:15:11 AM Hi!! I'm studying operative systems such as the new Vista (x86, x64) and Longhorn (the next Server 2007, beta3), and I'm wondering if the boot process is in the same way that years ago.. so first a mark 07c00h or something like that in the boot sector (512 bytes), and after that a jump to the kernel, a change to 64 bits, .... I think the boot could be done with masm 6.0 but I'm wondering what language has been used to do the other parts... VC++6, .NET 2003, 2005, any others compilers?

This one is geared toward the operations of the system instead of the development of it.
