FALL IDF - VirtualLogix supports multiple OSs
,----[ Quote ]
| Engineers can use VLX for Network Infrastructure to run multiple
| operating systems on a single multicore processor, hosting both
| Linux and a real time operating system (RTOS) without incurring the
| expense of using separate hardware platforms. It also makes it easier
| to migrate applications from traditional single-core chips to Intel's
| Core 2 Duo E6400 or T7400 chips.
