Virtualization
Monday, 27 March 2006
Shekhar Jha writes that virtualization process on the x86 platform has really taken off:
Isn’t it time to start the virtualization process for the OS itself? … Is this time to really start thinking about completely moving away from the monolithic kernels like Microsoft Windows and Linux and start adopting the Micro-kernel architecture
Virtualization is not an end in itself.
The .Net and JVM has a virtual machine to build portable code.
OS virtualization and chip virtualization are means to keep old applications running on new servers.
What would virtualizing the components of an OS kernel buy?
