Today's 'New Scientist' reports that Intel's next generation processor dubbed 'Vanderpool' will allow PC's to run multiple operating systems simultaneously using a small and efficient 'hyper-OS' described as a 'miniature operating system built for robustness and simplicity' (sound familiar?)

The OS would allow you to run a linux or windows app as you would launch a normal app on your current OS of choice (or the one you are stuck with).

If this new hardware makes it possible to run many OS 'Virtual Machines' on the same hardware, does this make Amiga DE a bit pointless? DE being a software solution to the same sort of problem - to overcome the differences between systems through a 'virtual processor'.

If you can us all these OS's together under a 'hyper OS' what will be the point of DE?
