In one of their presentations they mentioned "instant start", i.e. it downloads just enough to get you started then downloads the rest in the background.

- kryten 13y agoIts probably the same streaming tech office 2010 home and student uses. It basically makes it unusable. Every time you click something it lags for 30-40 seconds while it caches dlls. Horrible tech.
- hackinthebochs 13y agoI doubt its the same tech as the code to do this in a game would be totally different than the code for a desktop application. There's a big difference between JIT downloading and prioritizing so that you can start the game. I swear some people will find any reason to get in a shot against MS.
