Windows SDK Team Releases First Part of the "Vista Developer Story"

  • Article

Earlier this year, the Windows SDK team started working on the "Windows Vista Developer Story". This massive 500+ page document provides real content to developers looking to get started writing Windows Vista applications using the new Windows SDK.

We are pleased to announce that the first part of that document is being released. Entitled "Making Your Application a Windows Vista Application: The Top Ten Things to Do" and made available in a searchable Windows Help file, this document introduces the ten most important things for developers to focus on when designing for Windows Vista.

Note: Since this document is 200 pages, the online version is a brief overview while the full document is in the downloadable Help file.

 

Be sure and check the Windows Vista Developer Center often as we'll be posting more of the Windows Vista Dev Story throughout the coming months!

    I've tinkered with game engines for a few years, and Vista has some of the services one might expect from a game engine, such as meshes and cameras.

    If a physics engine and a spatial index system were available, one would think a game could be written without a seperate game engine.

    Will XNA take advantage of this?
    (p.s. I don't really care if OpenGL hobbles Aero).

    Geoff,

    What are you referring to?

    The "Vista Dev Story" (the title of this blog entry) links are on this page as well as the Vista Dev Center home page.

    The Windows SDK/WinFX links are at http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getthebeta/default.aspx

    Windows Vista is only available to MSDN Universal subscribers and beta testers.

    After having noticed the link to the "Vista Developers Story" on MSDN, i thought (stupidly) that it might offer some insights into how the people working on the project felt about... well working on the project :P With this declaration to my stupidity, ill leave you to return to your busy day, hopefully a happier, more amused man :P

    Sincerely

    although vista is a few months from release no details of launch date or the minimum/recommended system requirements are released yet. i guess that vista will not make it this year.
