Another in the series of 5-minute videos on OpenSolaris and Xeon Processors.
This one is about the details in our work on the Intel Core i7 processor, previously known as the codename "Nehalem". The community has been busting hump all year with a laser focus on optimizing OpenSolaris and Solaris for Nehalem. And why not? The architecture has some truly new and exciting advancements for Intel.
Hope you like it - appreciate your comments.

OpenSolaris and Intel Video - Keeping Drivers under Control
One of the cool things we have added to OpenSolaris recently is a capability which strengthens the whole foundation of stability on which the OS and processor rests. It does this by addressing one of chronic weak links of any operating system. I'm very excited by this work, and hope you enjoy it!
On the aesthetics of this clip, we changed the color scheme of the background (I think it looks like some dream sequence from Twin Peaks, if you ever watched that).
