Thanks Rich - I hope our buddy Steve Richter takes the time to read it.
Particularly the part:
Servers are evolving in multiple and sometimes conflicting directions.
Some industry trends imply that we need to scale up computing, such as
single instance data stores and partitioning. Others are driving it down,
such as grid and cloud computing, server farms and cluster computing. The
result, they believe, is that enterprises will want to customize the OS
based on the need.
And also the part about: "What's needed is a radical change in
architecture that goes beyond packaging DLLs, he added."
Hmmm.. radical architecture changes, and single instance data stores and
partitioning. Now where have I heard of that before???? Oh I remember,
that AS/400 box that went 64bit in 1995... yeah that's it.
