Well Longhorn Beta 1 is supposed to be released within few weeks and im going to tell you about two features which will be included.
WinSat:
This feature is called Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSat) and is a benchmarking tool which will be included in Longhorn to compare your system with other systems. This will also tell drivers and willl tell software to optimize, turn on or off in order to get the most out of your hardware
This will have two configuration one for applications and the other for games.
Game developers can also make games interact with WinSat and make their own optimisations and also can be programmed to tell you if you have any bottleneck and tells you what you need to change in your system such as a new vga or memory etc.. This tool will optimize itself also for when you change your hardware.
Also for us Advanced users we can get access to the scores and also optimise the system for our needs
The Stealth Feature For Modders:
There is no name for this feature and Tom's Hardware cant say anything about it's name so we'll call it "Mod1"
I like alot this feature so those who change their hardware frequently like us don't need to reformat every time to get the most out of our new hardware and to avoid BSODs.
IMO Microsoft has done a great job and they are looking on what computer enthusiasts ( i.e. overclockers, modders, gamers etc ) really need and i like it because im one of them so im gonna benefit from it.
