Microsoft will be using a new pre-loading technique to "improve" application launch times. This looks like a relatively easy feature to duplicate. Is it worthwhile?


Seems exactly like our resident(8).


Windows has a technology like binary pre-fetching for quite some time; it exists in Windows XP. This just looks like marketing stunt to me, evidently because the said feature was not publicised very well.
