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?)
It’s Intel’s attempt to nullify the X86 boat anchor (for IA-64’s interest). Probably, related to FX32 technology.
For example;
Mini-OS with FX32 CPU driver for X86-32 >> IA-64.
I wonder how fast it would be in running DirectX/X86 games… Answer: probably crap (due to the old FX32 experience).
Emulating bloated software would be taxing than emulating efficient AmigaOS software...
