Microsoft Windows 8: Mostly A Crap Wreck: For the past few days I have been trying out the Microsoft Windows 8 Consumer Preview. For the most part, I would call Windows 8 a crap wreck, but it is not without a few advantages over Linux.

VMware's Virtual GPU Driver Is Running Fast: For the past few years VMware has been improving the graphics acceleration support that is available via their virtualization platform. VMware -- through their 2008 acquisition of Tungsten Graphics -- has effectively re-written their graphics driver for their virtual "SVGA II" GPU to take advantage of the Gallium3D driver architecture, a new acceleration architecture, and many other improvements.

VMWare VMI Enters Kernel: In the 2.6.20 kernel we were presented with KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization, and now in the Linux 2.6.21 kernel will mark the introduction of VMWare's VMI into the Linux upstream kernel. VMWare's kernel component will allow for para-virtualized operating systems to run within virtual machines.

MCNLive Virtual City: MCNLive Virtual City is out, which is a Linux distribution that can run on a 512MB USB flash drive or CD-ROM and supports virtualization through VirtualBox OSE and a whole lot more. It also supports desktop effects through Compiz with either AIGLX or XGL. This is an interesting little distribution worth checking out.

New KVM Virtual Released: While KVM -- Kernel-based Virtual Machine -- will appear in the mainline Linux 2.6.20 kernel release, ending off the year yesterday was a new KVM release (Release 9). New in this KVM virtualization release is API documentation, more stabilization fixes, and interactivity improvements.
