New Features
- Some system components (such as filesystem, GWES (graphics, windowing, events server), device driver manager) have been moved to the kernel space.
- The system components which now run in kernel have been converted from EXEs to DLLs, which get loaded into kernel space.
- New virtual memory model. The lower 2 GB is the process VM space and is private per process. The upper 2 GB is the kernel VM space.
- New device driver model that supports both user mode and kernel mode drivers.
- The 32 process limit has been raised to 32,768 processes.
- The 32 megabyte virtual memory limit has been raised to the total virtual memory; up to 2 GB of private VM is available per process.
- The Platform Builder IDE is integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 as plugin (thus forcing the client to obtain Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 also), allowing one development environment for both platform and application development.
- Read-only support for UDF 2.5 filesystem.
- Support for Microsoft's exFAT filesystem.
- 802.11i (WPA2) and 802.11e (QoS) wireless standards, and multiple radio support.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
