Living off the grid OS

| Visualize virtualization that goes beyond the usual hardware associated with
| the term -- servers and storage, for example -- to encompass the whole set of
| resources in a computing environment, including firewalls, databases, memory,
| and CPUs, for example.

| The benefits of a grid OS are considerable, allowing you to allocate more
| computing power to an application in a heartbeat and with seamless effort,
| for example.

After Vista will operating systems change to simpler modular model?
,----[ Quote ]
| Vista is finally here but Microsoft's journey to this point has been
| infamously painful...
|
| Linux has been a relatively modular operating system for years. The
| system has hundreds of packages that can be either compiled directly
| with the kernel's source code or installed on top of a binary kernel.
| Because of the sheer number of Linux packages, package management is
| a crucial part of many Linux distributions such as Debian, explains
| Ian Murdock, chief technology officer of the newly-formed industry
| group, the Linux Foundation.
