Software used by Microsoft

[everard]

What software does Microsoft Corp. used to create their Windows OS? It's just my school assignment so pls reply ASAP. Thanks!

[thegreatone]

If i'm not mistaken it's parts of C with other languages in there at times... Although i have no clear knowledge on it,.

[eSPiYa]

It is JSP.

It certifies my beadle.

Hey it is illegal!
Did you downloaded it here?

(Don't open the link it is illegal. )

[everard]

What is JSP?

[eSPiYa]

Java Server Pages

[everard]

So microsoft is using Java Server Pages to create their products... Am I right?

[eSPiYa]

No, microsoft is using J2EE as SDK and NetBean as the IDE in creating their own products.

[everard]

Are you sure that Microsoft uses JSP in creating their software products? I have a feeling that Microsoft uses Assembly Language in creating Softwares but in the case of Windows 2000, the code provided in this topic was not created using assembly language instead a kind of programming software that is nearly similar to C.

[eSPiYa]

Just kidding.
Actually they used C and some tools in creating their products.

if (fast_cpu())
    {
    set_wait_states(lots);
    set_mouse(speed,very_slow);
    set_mouse(action,jumpy);
    set_mouse(reaction,sometimes);
    } //if

rofl!!

[everard]

Thanks for the replies!!!
To eSPiYa:
Please don't post a reply then you will say that you're just kidding. You wasted my time researching about that JSP thing.

[dark_shadow]

well maybe putting this in the correct forum and putting the appropate tags in the name would help so dont go ratting on eSPiYa

[eSPiYa]

Add [SERIOUS] tag if you're in ChitChat or you should post it under General PC.
Next time you know what you should do.

[baja_yu]

Exactly, like they all said, if you dont want replies like these, put a [serious] tag in your thread title. Then you will get a reply along the lines of "do your own homework".
Unfortunatelly new users don't know this so they go through both homework question stages...

[techgnome]

ugh! Don't you people know ANYthing? They used JSP to create Windows up through 98.... after that they moved to Mono on Linux machines.....

lol,Its like saying Sun uses asp to design its website

[penagate]

Sun uses RoR.

*true*

[wossname]

MS writes all its code in QBasic and then uses a convertor that the work-experience kid found on some warez site to translate it into Fortran65 and then into Java. At this point its legally obliged to remove all the code for IE lest they get sued. Then the code is passed through a random character insertion routine to make sure that the customer support department is properly justified.

After that 10% of the working code is extracted and compiled into the service packs. The rest is translated back into QBasic, compiled and shipped.

[moeur]

you're wasting his time again. Now he has to look up QBasic.

[visualAd]

Chuck Norris has been commissioned to write all softwares for Microsoft.

[wossname]

He simply writes random characters and roundhouse-kicks the compiler until it builds.

[timeshifter]

I thought Microsoft used VB4 to prograom WinXP?

[wossname]

Only because the DOJ told them to modernise.

[Shaggy Hiker]

MS uses VS C/C++ for all their Windows programs. It might scare some of you to know, but the MS policy is "we eat our own dog food."

Frankly, having eaten in the MS cafeteria, I'd have to say that's some mighty tasty dog food, and I ought to know.

Well, maybe that wasn't dog food they serve in the cafeteria.

[wossname]

And they've even stockpiled some Kibble so that nobody on other platforms supposedly in cross-platform partnership are able to fully implement standards on those platforms in case they actually manage to make it work in a timely fashion, thus making MS look rather foolish.

If bugs are good enough for MS then they are good enough for everyoe else too.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Bugs are tasty.

[timeshifter]

Only if you're a Wossy.

[eSPiYa]

Where is everard?

[kleinma]

its sad that if someone doesn't type serious in their thread title, you guys ramble nonsense for lack of anything better to do.

[timeshifter]

Well, it is Chit Chat...

[dark_shadow]

you mistake us for people that have lives

[Shaggy Hiker]

Everard probably left in disgust. It's too bad, my post came from inside knowledge, but the signal was lost in the noise.

[wossname]

We only ramble because we aren't allowed to say words like jerk any more.

[brad jones]

<Serious>

Here is another rule.

If someone asks a serious question, it should be treated with respect. This person has indicated that they were looking for a seirous answer and all he got was disrespect and nonsense. You guys hijacked his thread.

Please respect other people's threads. If you do not know the poster and do not know if the thread is serious, then treat it as serious.

As to the actual question -

Microsoft uses a number of different tools and languages. From my understanding, a lot of their products are written in C++; however, they have been using .NET for a lot of the newer stuff. This includes both VB .NET and C#, although I know many use C#).

JSP, J2EE, Java, PHP, and other technologies are competative to what Microsoft uses. While there is likely a little Java in Microsoft, I would be willing to bet it is insignificant compared to C++, C#, and VB.NET.

Brad!

C# is the standard for M$ products developed using .net.
