Stuck with 1970s VM? Posted Mar 7, 2007 16:38 UTC (Wed) by ibukanov (subscriber, #3942) [Link] As far as I remember Windows got memory-mapped files starting at least with Windows-95. Surely the API is different, but it is straightforward to isolate the difference behind a tiny wrapper. The best thing about it is that since the memory mapping removes explicit reads/writes from the application, the end result is more portable code.

That's the sound of a tongue-in-cheek jab at Windows going over your head. :-)
