I am still waiting for/to hear more details. At some point in the future, I would like to do at least a couple of of different operating systems in a virtualized environment, using Solaris as a host system.

Work also appears to be moving along swiftly with the Xen hypervisor on Solaris also. From an earlier note from Craig (see at the bottom), it appears that this technology, at least from a networking perspective, is primarily focused on windows.

From a windows perspective, I have only one application that I need to run, but have other applications that I need to run from other operating systems.

At this point, might a planned course of attack be to use this technology (Win4Lin/Solaris) to get windows operational, or, if a person was planning to make uses of Xen, be to install all virtualized operating systems under Xen?

Ivar, you have mentioned that this will be available for windows 2000 and xp guest. Where can I read more about this? I went tho the win4lin home page ( http://www.win4lin.com/ ) and nothing is mentioned about Solaris, even after using their search.

Thank you,

Jerry Kemp

This is Win4lin Pro on Solaris.
I have been informed it will be available for windows 2000 and XP guest OS only.
The host OS will be Solaris 10 and Solaris Express 11.
Hardware will be i386 and amd64 and in the future even sparc (with some limitations).
I am impressed!  Nice work!
As the video shows it will be better with multimedia than rdp based terminal services.
This was some discussion earlier which is now addressed properly.

Kind regards,

Ivar


===================================================

QEMU (and KQEMU) has the ability to support many OS's, but as for Virtual 
bridges and their other included technology (i.e. Merge) is focused on Windows 
interoperability.

Will this strictly be a DOS+windows thing, or will other x86 OS's work also??

Thanks,

Glad you like it!

I'm hoping to put some pointers out to early access by next week.

Ah!  That, together with your jigsaw puzzle from earlier today, paints
a very interesting picture.  Hadn't quite figured out the puzzle
message, but now the light begins to dawn on me.

Wow!

cheers,

p.s. So, how soon is "[not] much longer" and "soon"? :-)
