 | Windows (R) 7 For testing purposes only. Build 6544 |
I was at the Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam. Where we attend to a one week High Performance Computing Event.
Very very cool Sessions and Speeches which covered things like Windows, Windows Server, Hyper-V, Hyper Visor, and a lot of other stuff such as Windows Kernel ...
We are currently a bit bussy in producing all the Channel8 stuff, so stay tuned for the Interviews.

How is the thing managing the Supervisors, well sure the Hypervisor. Nowadays it is a small pice of software which is handling the communication between the Hardware and the Virtualisation Stack! In the virtualisation Stack u can host things like Windows, Linux, ... Want to know more about it?
