Not Relevant for Intel

"Intel has added hardware support that eliminates the need for virtualization software (virtual machine monitors) to patch the operating system. This results in a simpler, more reliable virtualization solution. Intel's approach also makes the virtual machine monitor independent of the operating system, so it is easier to validate and support. Intel Virtualization Technology is expected to be introduced to desktop and server processors during 2005 and 2006". IE now!!!!

pg 4 Intel Software Insite

The ZDnet article is worthy in that it points out the fundamental problem AMD will be having in competing against INTEL by teaming with Microsoft.

That problem is in relying on an operating system product that is produced by a criminal organization with little or no documented quality.

Note also that because INTEL provided the Open Source used by Linux, it is likely that INTEL did not produce open source code that had been relegated to hardware status - ie virtualization code. So even Linux on AMD suffers.

We can conclude that Microsfoft and Linux OS updates on AMD boxes will not benefit from virtualization for some time and will not be as secure as the virtualization implemented in Intel hardware.

Discuss?
