O mais incrível é o comentário de quem redigiu o artigo: Virtual machines for 'legacy' software
There have also been indications that Windows 7 will use virtualisation to run any software that hasn't been specifically written for Windows 7 or using Microsoft's .NET language. 7's use of virtual machines to run these 'legacy' applications was leaked on Microsoft's own Channel 9 community forum in July in a (quickly removed!) thread. While it's a novel approach for Microsoft to take, it's certainly not a first. Apple migrated users from its Mac OS Classic environment to Mac OS X by loading the classic OS in a virtual machine of sorts if users needed to run one of their old applications. At this early stage, no-one can guarantee that any feature will definitely be on the Windows 7 roster. After all, at the equivalent stage of Vista's evolution Microsoft was talking about everything from the WinFS database storage system to all manner of 'blue sky' notions, all of which were dropped before Longhorn hit its first beta release. Sinofsky's track record paints him as more of a realist, however, and OS-based virtualisation makes sense for plenty of reasons. Microsoft already has the technology in Hyper-V, the hypervisor-based virtualisation system designed for Windows Server 2008. And hardware won't be an issue: by the time Windows 7 arrives circa 2010, quad-core will have replaced dual-core as the mainstream, with substantially larger cache including big slabs of Level 3 cache. L3 already exists in AMD's 'Barcelona' architecture and have been hinted for Intel's 'Nehalem', which will succeed the current Core micro-architecture in the second half of 2008. (In fact, if Windows 7 breaks cover towards the end of 2010 it'll be accompanied by Intel's post-Nehalem Core microarchitecture revision, codenamed Gesher.) Also, considering that Nehalem will debut with eight cores in a single die, there's no reason we couldn't see a string of single cores each being set aside for running a VM, with a flash drive used to hold and launch the virtual machine software in order to dramatically boost session speed, especially during the 'transition states' of startup and shutdown which represent so much of the VM overhead. PCs will also sport obscene amounts of memory: 4GB will likely be equivalent to today's 'entry level' of 1GB, with flash drives used in concert with hard drives to actively store files rather than just be a shot-term cache. (desculpa ae o inglês.) Mas o autor justifica a necessidade de muito hardware. Ele diz que os Quad Core em 2010 serão como os core duo hoje. E 4gb de RAM será equivalente a 1gb de hoje. Mas engraçado.. não justifica a necessidade de tanto hardware. Só diz que o que temos hoje vai ser obsoleto na época. Não deixa de ser verdade, mas é sacanagem ter que trocar de hardware a cada 1 ou 2 anos só pra suportar um sistema operacional que vem cada vez mais complicado de se usar. Eu achava que meu Core2 Duo 2Ghz com 2Gb de Ram seriam valorizados daqui a 5 anos. :( Eu digo pra quem migra do XP pra o Vista: - Se é pra mudar pra um sistema tão diferente do XP, vá pra o Linux. Além de ser rápido, você não vai ter vários problemas que terá no Vista. Pra começar, vírus e spyware. Até minha mãe que é meio cabeça dura pra usar computador tá aprendendo a mexer e nem reclama de nada.
