Dell to run Apple Mac OS on its hardware?


While still being speculated, this is a dream come true for every Mac lover, me included. But the bigger new is that Dell is going for all the markets: windows, linux, Mac, ou name it, hey did forget Solaris ;-)


A third virtual machine might run a version of Linux that is compatible with programs on the user's work computer. A fourth virtual machine might run Windows XP software that is not compatible with the Windows Vista machine.

Such PCs could go on sale as early as next year, Kettler said while attending the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco.

However, he declined to say whether the machines will be able to run Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) Latest News about Apple OS X software designed for its Macintosh computers, whose sales Email Marketing Software - Free Demo are growing faster than the overall PC market.

"I can't speculate on that," Kettler said.

"Virtualization is very powerful. It's an environment that would allow many different operating systems to coexist. You can interpret that however you would like."
If you wanna believe me , Mac is coming to all of us like a freight train!

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
