VMware Predicts Death To Operating Systems Mendel Rosenblum envisions a world run by virtualization appliances where software makers wouldn't need a bulky or complex OS.
He said in his keynote at LinuxWorld conference: The hypervisor is the system program that provides the virtual machine environment. The term came from the IBM mainframe world. IBM was the first to introduce the concept of a virtual machine. "I give IBM credit for inventing this, but they also in some sense killed it (by turning toward operating systems)," Rosenblum said. http://update.informationweek.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/mBBn80HnWTA0G4n0FRPI0FQ /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 44 years [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock"
