We have been redefining OS, application, and programming language and will continue to do so. Java is a type of virtualization already, and web based applications let the other side worry about OS stuff. There are more and more people creating applications who need to know less and less about what happens behind the code. So we redefine OS to mean whatever interfaces the virtual machine/application with the hardware/world and ignore it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
