Microsoft Must Turn To Virtual OS After Vista | |

If Microsoft is to avoid the mistakes of Windows Vista in the future and deliver updates on a more frequent schedule -- a promise the company's chief executive has made more than once -- it will need to break the operating system into components and use visualization technologies to separate those parts from each other, analysts from Gartner said Tuesday. "The sale of new operating systems has to start coming in more closely-defined periods," said Brian Gammage, a Gartner vice president and resident expert on virtualization. "The way to do this is with modules." Microsoft's mistakes in Vista's development have been well-chronicled, and the company's leaders recognize that another five-year gap between major updates of their money maker could be disastrous. In July, chief executive Steve Ballmer told financial analysts "we will never repeat our experience with Windows Vista, we will never have a five-year gap between major releases of flagship products." | ||

These guys make it sound as if they're running against the grain, that Microsoft has no interest in this. The reality is that Microsoft is keenly interested in a more modular system, and has been for quite awhile. Not only is the purchase of Connectix and Softricity part of their plan, but they have plans to re-architect many of the core components of Windows as well:
