  Microsoft Must Turn To Virtual OS After Vista
Time: 01:16 EST/06:16 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

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."
