Architecture of Windows 2000 edit

This was moved from Windows 2000 as the article was getting too large. Would appreciate feedback on the article to get it improved and to featured article status. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:23, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm dumb, but could I ask you to please state the obvious. I had trouble understanding the first two paragraphs even. Quick quote:
"Windows 2000 is a 32-bit, preemptible, interruptible operating system, which has been designed to work with either uniprocessor or symmetrical multi processor (SMP) based Intel x86 computers. To process I/O requests, uses packet driven I/O which utilise I/O request packets (IRPs) and asynchronous I/O. However, Windows 2000 is known as a hybrid operating system as the microkernel is essentially the kernel, while higher-level services are implemented by the executive, which exists in kernel mode. User mode in Windows 2000 is made of subsystems capable of passing I/O requests to the appropriate kernel mode drivers by using the I/O manager."

I don't know what you mean by 32-bit or preemtible or interruptible or SMP, etc. are. I don't know what I/O requests are. And this may shock you considering how the article dives right into it, but I don't even know what kernel mode and user mode are. I know it sounds stupid, but explaining jargon goes a long way towards making the article accessible to normal people like me. --Dmcdevit 07:47, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Most definitely, I appreciate the feedback. Will look into resolve this soon! - Ta bu shi da yu 07:55, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
