[OpenIndiana-discuss] An article from "the register"

[Open Indiana]

This is very bad news. All our servers have a dual-boot system partition so
we can choose between IIS and apache every time we reboot......

*sigh*

Imho hardware is having such great performance that within a couple of
months, maybe 2 years, all desktops (but maybe tablets and phones too) will
have some kind of hypervisor that will boot at first. After the boot one can
choose between the different OS's the mainhardware supports.
If I remember correct HTC has announced a dualboot mobile phone by which the
user can choose between the private or the company phone.

It will not pass in Europe, but in the US of A, our elected officials will
let it slide.
