The next generation Windows kernel which becomes slim - - the Microsoft technician appealing light weight OS

Microsoft has tackled "being slim" of the micro kernel which is used in the next generation Windows. The technician of the same company which on October 20th is lectured at the American Illinois university, announced the Windows kernel "MinWin" which is in the midst of developing.

of Microsoft which has the title, "distinguished engineer" on the 20th, ACM which is academic society of computer scientific field (Association for Computing Machinery) in the conference which is sponsored, lectured over approximately 1 hour focusing on, the match to the imagination conversion which is special field of the same person among those picked up MinWin.

"The thing of Windows as for the person whom you think that it is OS which enlarges it is many, it cannot avoid recognizing either that that is the legitimate viewpoint. We made those which are called MinWin then. As for me still this size (size) being satisfied, it is not, but 1 Tsuga MinWin of the result of endeavoring that the そ ぎ you will drop all layers which are riding on OS, the ま っ plate will put in the architecture layer is ",

The point was emphasized moves MinWin really before the attendance person, that micro kernel how has been slim in comparison with the current Windows core. According to the same person, the core of Windows Vista reaches to 4GB and the file of 5,000 is used, but as for the number of files of MinWin there being only 100, you say that also size is 25MB.

MinWin size is small very, does not have graphical subsystem. Whenboots MinWin, the logograph of standard Windows which imitates the flag was indicated in the starting picture, but the design was something which is written in ASCII letter. This technique is not almost used being something which goes out of use several dozen years ago, other than spamming.

MinWin is used only inside the company Microsoft, unless either the fact that it will commercialize in the future it i calls.

But as for MinWin, with Windows of all versions which in the future are developed including the next generation version which is called "Windows 7", it is the prospect that it is adopted as the basis. Furthermore, other than the thing where, almost there is no information at present time last shipment edition is thrown to 2010 concerning Windows 7.

As for "as for MinWin in the future, it is the schedule which becomes the base of all Windows products. Not only OS which is this room and works many with note PC, you said also OS which is used with media center and the server and the small-sized installed device etc. probably becomes the MinWin base ".

The investigation companon Microsoft analyst and the Michael cherry person point out that there is a legitimate reason in the match of Microsoft like MinWin.

"As spoken the thing of the hypothetical conversion hyper visor whose Microsoft is new, you can think in me. In the near future, it isn't to reach the point which makes several lightweight hyper visor layer work, moves OS on that? So, when we assume that is, in order the first layer (the micro kernel) to make as much as possible small, the same company is all efforts concentrates good thing ", (the cherry person)

Also the hypothetical conversion manager the hyper visor which is called is the software in order to try to be able to share one hardware & the processor with plural OS. As a software based hyper visor, there is "VMware Workstation" "of Virtual PC" of Microsoft and VMware and so on. Microsoft, tried will refer to integrate this technology to Windows concerning the hyper visor from several years, ago.

The cherry person lists the fact that balance of the built-in function in the kernel as the topic of Microsoft regarding the lightweight kernel, and the function which is removed from the kernel in order to raise stability is taken. "(Microsoft) uses the self-control heart as expected, being possible to squeeze the built-in function in the new kernel? For them like difficult thing you can think, "(the same person)
