Will it run windows? I don't see any verbiage making that specific claim.

Re: Mantissa and X86
Hi, Steve. On July 22,2008, Gary Dennis of Mantissa Corp made the following statement on the VM list: In Q1 2009 Mantissa will deliver a system that permits unaltered Windows operating systems to run under z/VM. Gary Dennis Mantissa Corporation I am guessing that the way that this might work is to run the Windows system 'headless' on z/VM, and then have some sort of thin client connect to the server. I believe that Microsoft has implemented a protocol for doing just this sort of thing. Have a good one. Steve Mitchell wrote: Will it run windows? I don't see any verbiage making that specific claim.

I believe that Microsoft has implemented a protocol for doing just this sort of thing. Have a good one. I expect that it will work somewhat like VMware VIEW. The user logs on to VIEW with a thin client and their desktop (running on a X86 VMware server) appears. VIEW keeps track of the users and which virtual machine belongs to which user. VIEW also creates new virtual machines for new users from a template (think of a virtual machine with no cpu or memory). VIEW is a well thought out front end for VMware. Now that Mantissa is running Windows on z/VM the obvious next step is VIEW for z/VM. :) Maybe Mantissa has already done it. -- Stephen Frazier Information Technology Unit Oklahoma Department of Corrections 3400 Martin Luther King Oklahoma City, Ok, 73111-4298 Tel.: (405) 425-2549 Fax: (405) 425-2554 Pager: (405) 690-1828 email: stevef%doc.state.ok.us
