| Critical optimizations such as zero-copy aside, there is no excusable reason
| why processing IP packets should so damagingly affect the system.

|
| Putting aside the larger problem for the moment, there are several issues
| with this solution. It prioritizes multimedia playback over networking
| performance, which, as the resulting clamor has shown, is not everyone's
| personal policy preference. It is almost assuredly a layering violation. It
| picks a fixed and hard-coded packet limit (ten per millisecond), which won't
| scale across different hardware—think significantly faster processors or
| substantially slower networking drivers. It ignores the commonality of GigE.
| And, finally, the solution is complicated, as the convoluted description and
| resulting bugs in the implementation demonstrate.

Microsoft replaces Vista kernel in SP1
,----[ Quote ]
| Well the answer is yes it has, and presumably the main reason for Microsoft’s
| silence on the subject is that as they’re keen to promote the improvements
| and enhancements to Vista, rather than placing emphasis on a kernel upgrade,
| which some people might see as a risk of newly-introduced instability.
