Question: Will you be using minlogon with this project, or not? If yes, Will fast-user switching be available? At the moment, I'm sharing my machine, and would love to test this project out when it's done, but I'll have to be able to share the machine no-matter-what for a while... then again, there's always VMWare...

Also, is there any need for more help? I've been known to sort out efficiancy problems with windows... and succeed...

;)

minlogon is the only solution i know everyone can get access to
you'd have to get a special winlogon or make one otherwise

delayed release date is due to stuff in my life, and private testing is a must so I have many solutions ready for most of the questions I will be asked

gotta love how easily msfn threads get google listings :D

i was out yesterday, thats why i didn't respond, but after my head ache and feeling nausious all night, i wish i stayed home

i watched gangster 1 @ my friends, i feel so sick right now still

minlogon is needed cause of certain files removed

im not the type of person who goes and sits there for hours typing right now, I do, do it, but its not what im doing right now, thats why i gave myself lots of time, to do things in steps, i need to do my own testing too still

certain programs i want, lots of lines to type, other alternate projects, im busy, doing lots of myself, playing games, hanging out with friends, sleeping, (no long nights lol)

anyway, it will be released, it will be very good, and it should be worth all of its, weak points , from improved security :D

oh and I since got 2 MB less memory usage

I think before i decided to share this wonderful thing with the world

I should finish what I started

I think a new shell, will allow this project to boot without RPC

currently , without a cd-rom disk in the drive, this windows is taking, 9 seconds to boot, from select windows screen, til firewall is finished loading, 15 seonds when cd-rom disk is in the drive

51.6MB memory usage @ startup

hopefully I will be 50> soon

real world running tests, thats why

windows xp before doing what ive done to it, with the same firewall and drivers, used 135MB ram

I will be testing this windows without a firewall soon, to see if its capable of doing such a thing without being hacked, in 40 minutes, like a normal non-firewalled windows xp

Why disable RPC, you can't install anything without it. :( I tried, it was a huge pain.

i think installing programs is a bit more important than that, actually.

and i doubt it'll be virus immune anyway. but we'll see.

actually didn't you read yet, ive tested with 300 virus

i was even able to to try one that killed nod32 2.5 AV , so it wouldn't work anymore just from executing a .exe in my other windows

honestly, when your stuff is installed, and you dont change your software contstantly, this windows would be for you

virus immunity, is 100% so far from my testing

and about , and anyway, if you install a game in your other windows, its very easy to run it in this windows, making it perfect

and yes, i think virus immunity vs installing programs easily, virus immunity outwieghts the later

Sounds very promising, It would be very good if you didnt need a firewall as well.:)

I dont really change my software much, so to not worry about having to do virus scans and a firewall that bogs down the system would be a godsend. Have you tried lots of different spyware ?

using firefox, the only spyware that gets me , is cookies, if I knew howto setup firefox better, i wouldn't see any spyware

but as most spyware installs under its own \Program Files Directory
or \Windows , and files needed to execute spyware, isn't there, it cant execute
