With AMD Virtualization is the next step in computing

Taking the computing world by storm, virtualization has been the hottest topic since DOS.

With Apple’s Trojan horse of Boot Camp, this topic has been the talk of main stream press, not relegated to the back pages of niche publications. Users are seeing a real need for this technology.

You asked and AMD answered. They officially launched the “AM2″ a new socket technology that supports many new advances including virtualization technology. With the proper groundwork being laid out AMD has quietly put the ball in the OS makers court forcing them to deal with the licensing scheme that they currently employ.

It will be interesting how Microsoft addresses this new technology, and lets see if they can resist from trying to deviate the market from this extremely sensible path. Also, will Apple drop its long standing ‘You can run MacOS on any machine so long as it’s a Mac’ policy?

    Boot Camp has nothing whatsoever to do with hardware virtualization. Parallels Desktop is what does that in Mac OS X. VMWare and others do it as well for PCs.

    Apple will not drop the Mac OS X on anything other than a Mac policy. Not now, not next November, not ever. Never!

    Apple is a hardware company. Mac OS X sells Mac hardware.

    Apple may put AMD processors in Macs some day in the future, but right now Intel has the chipset the makes the most sense for Apple.

    Why is it that every time someone mentions a new technology, people start talking about Apple? I guess it’s because they are one of the only companies that has a clue. Will someone please compete with Apple?
