Windows 8 to have Unprecedented Virtualization Prowess

New information from criminal records in Windows 8 in hand, it seems that Microsoft was more than honest when asked for the next operating system produced risky bet.

Two reports, one of ITWorld, and the other to describe the features of Windows virtualization ZDNet 8, and if what they say bears in the future, Microsoft's operating system could be like no other before him.

Virtualization is only for reference, is distinguished in the ability of the operating system to run multiple "images" of the OS both on one piece of equipment. Each image is called an example.

Let's start with the inclusion of Hyper-V 3.0 for Windows 8 will be the first time this specific virtualization technology included in a standard version of Windows, in other words, a non-server construction. This question, when it creates the potential for virtualization in a scale that is unprecedented for Windows.

Even better is the explosion of MinWin in Windows 8. MinWin is the core of the core components of Windows operating system, in other words, the stripped version of Windows. He appeared in Windows 7, and started with Vista, Windows 8, but seems willing to take a much greater role.

Now, with the two together, greatly expanded and powerful virtualization with Hyper-V and access to MinWin, Windows 8 (at least some of its builder, probably the news of the company) have the ability to create a multitude of 'virtualized instances of Windows that individual programs have their own instigation.

ZDNet remember the following quote from Microsoft from 2009 that explains exactly what the company belongs to:

"The goal is to MinWin, when it comes to Windows 8 if all goes well, it is completely removed these features is to ensure that they have no presence at all. At the time, this gives the opportunity to get your desktop , Windows Server Core is responsible for the event ... Hyper-V, V3, the workstation is as small as possible, whether a potential attack surface of rack space and disk storage. "

This move seems to XP mode.

It's a story that takes place, but new construction of Windows 8 flight, and details of the depth break, it seems that Microsoft is not trying to reinvent the look of Windows, but also its foundation base. Sound off in comments, would this level of virtualization to excite you?
