I just read the following on SearchVirtualDesktop<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cMicrosoft France’s technical and security director, Bernard Ourghanlian, mentioned <\/em>in a French publication<\/em><\/a> this summer that Hyper-V 3.0 will run as a client hypervisor on the desktop along with the <\/em>MinWin<\/em><\/a> version of windows\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wait; there are three things to note from that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Another Microsoft employee on the continent is talking out loud when they probably shouldn\u2019t be (Amsterdam is the usual leaky dam).<\/li>\n
  2. MinWin is a name that\u2019s bounced around in the rumour mill for a while.\u00a0 It\u2019s thought to be a completely stripped down version of a Windows desktop OS, similar to Windows PE but not intended just for deployment tasks.<\/li>\n
  3. A client hypervisor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s that latter bit that\u2019s interesting.\u00a0 A new client-based hypervisor that is based on vNext of Hyper-V.\u00a0 Almost every Windows IT pro has wanted that since day 1.\u00a0 Right now we compromise with Windows Server & Hyper-V on the laptop or use VMware Workstation (or similar).\u00a0 Virtual PC just hasn’t been able to compare in the past, and the current release is focused on application compatibility rather than virtualisation for demos or labs.<\/p>\n

    A new MS client hypervisor that is a part of Windows 8 would probably bring an end to Virtual PC, I guess.\u00a0 And MED-V would see some sort of shift into being purely a VM distribution system \u2026 kind of a VMM-lite for client virtualisation.<\/p>\n

    Who knows!\u00a0 I guess we\u2019ll have to wait for someone in MS Netherlands to feel like they\u2019ve been scooped and blurt out some more information. \u00a0I\u2019ve a funny feeling that they might get hunted down by someone in Redmond \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
