Having Xgrid built-in is the exact same thing as having X11 built-in. It's a power user, program specific feature.
Now, if we're lucky, Apple will have implemented something a little easier to code for than creating NSTasks (or with an extra layer of abstraction so it's more Cocoa-like, for creating and executing Xgrid jobs. Maybe add something to the Accelerate framework? If the later is the case, expect simultaneos Panther updates for backward compatibility to some measure, probably required a Tiger controller and agent.
Or maybe it will be implemented in the same way as Remote Desktop? I'm not much of a programmer but I think we all know one company who's gonna use this technology in their software (if that will even be nessesary).
couldn't they just make the system take the different computeres it recognizes, and "melt" them together?
Once multy processing needed to have the program itself be MP aware. Today OS X will automatically use one chip for OS X and the other for the program.
Could they expand on that concept with xGrid, and simply let the system "melt" together on a very low level?
Kickaha and Amorph couldn't moderate themselves out of a paper bag. Abdicate responsibility and succumb to idiocy. Two years of letting a member make personal attacks against others, then stepping aside when someone won't put up with it. Not only that but go ahead and shut down my posting priviledges but not the one making the attacks. Not even the common decency to abide by their warning (afer three days of absorbing personal attacks with no mods in sight), just shut my posting down and then say it might happen later if a certian line is crossed. Bullshit flag is flying, I won't abide by lying and coddling of liars who go off-site, create accounts differing in a single letter from my handle with the express purpose to decieve and then claim here that I did it. Everyone be warned, kim kap sol is a lying, deceitful poster.
Now I guess they should have banned me rather than just shut off posting priviledges, because kickaha and Amorph definitely aren't going to like being called to task when they thought they had it all ignored *cough* *cough* I mean under control. Just a couple o' tools.
Don't worry, as soon as my work resetting my posts is done I'll disappear forever.

I was wondering, couldn't you just stop reading this thread also?
