JeOS: Death of the operating system?
,----[ Quote ]
| With the rise of virtualization and the
| concept of a lightweight, Just enough
| Operating System (JeOS), the traditional OS
| could become a thing of the past.
|
| JeOS is stripped down to the bare
| essentials necessary to run a particular
| application -- a perfect fit for
| virtualization, which allows many operating
| systems to run concurrently on a single
| host. The actual components in a JeOS
| implementation may vary from one guest to
| another, but the concept remains the same:
| If it does not serve the needs of the
| application, it doesn't need to be in the
| OS.

Ubuntu on [Microsoft's] Virtual PC 2007 - No way dude!
,----[ Quote ]
| A number of people have asked me whether it's possible to install
| Linux onto a Virtual PC 2007 virtual machine. Well, since I had
| an Ubuntu ISO on my desktop I decided to give it a go.
|
| The short answer is no. It won't. I thought that it might but
| my optimism was short-lived. The graphics are all messed up.

Microsoft flip-flops on Vista virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| Software like Parallels Desktop for the Mac or Microsoft's own Virtual
| PC for Windows allow multiple operating systems to run simultaneously.
| When it announced licensing rules for Vista last year, Microsoft said
| that only Vista Business and Vista Ultimate could run as guest
| operating systems. The company said virtualization presents inherent
| security risks and that it hoped by limiting which versions of the OS
| could act as virtual machines, only sophisticated users and businesses
| would employ the tactic.

Is need for control behind Microsoft's flip-flop?
,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile, Gartner analyst Michael Silver took Microsoft to task
| for its continued restrictions.
|
| "Microsoft's policies...come off as a way to gouge customers," Silver
| said in an e-mail, noting that customers are forced to pay for higher
| priced editions, even though they don't get many of the benefits, like
| the Aero user interface, which often won't work in a virtual machine.
|
| Silver argues that Microsoft is likely leaving money on the table.
| "Allowing use of lower priced (editions) could even be worth more
| money to Microsoft as it would likely increase the number of people
| that would legally run a Microsoft OS in a VM (like on a Mac),"
| Silver wrote. "Eventually they will have no choice but to make their
| peace with virtualization."
