Desktop Virtualization: End of the Traditional Operating System? | |
|

"What Xen is, is a very thin layer of software that essentially presents to the operating system an idealized hardware abstraction," said Simon Crosby, vice president of marketing for XenSource. The OS is no longer glued to the hardware but floats above it, talking to Xen as if it were the machine. According to industry experts, the "operating system" as we know it is going to seem much less important in the near future. Windows, for example, will not go away but it will no longer be considered the central experience of computing . The recent release of Apple's Tiger OS and the anticipation of Microsoft's Longhorn remind us that, for all intents and purposes, the OS is the computer. But that might all change in the coming years. | ||
