Windows 7 - a kernel for handheld and server
Eric Traut, one of the chief engineer at Microsoft and responsible for the operating system design, was recently at the University of Illinois one-hour look at the future of Windows.
The “MinWin “said kernel requires about 25 megabytes of disk space and 40 megabytes of RAM. These values are already now use on mobile devices possible. However, Traut not yet satisfied with his work and hopes the footprint of the kernel continue to shrink. In about three years, the planning, it should be sustained in smart phones, desktop computers and servers used and the separation between computers and handheld systems repeal. This is made possible a virtualization software that allows any (Windows) surfaces in parallel on a kernel. This enables the respective devices customized UIs on the kernel up. This is largely the current virtualization approach, for example, Xen or VirtualBox. But the road there is broad. A first step in the next month with the launch of Windows CE 6.0 R2, the new Web services and new video-VoIP technology support and updates for Internet Explorer brings. Next is 2008 with a new version of Windows XP Embedded, typically in the UMPCs, Tablet PCs and other small computers used. 2009 or 2010, then a new Windows Vista Embedded.
