Today Microsofts Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer announced the effort in developing a new production line based on their famous Windows series especially designed for servers. This new OS, called Windows Vertigo, is supposed to be totally POSIX compliant as well introduces a new said to be revolutionary file system based on a proprietary rebuild of ReiserFS called VETO. Featuring Hans Reiser and his team at Namesys, VETO claims to be “Reiser 5 and 5 steps further”. But introducing VETO is not the only improvement according to Steve Ballmer. Windows Vertigo pragmatically separates kernel, shell and graphical representation. “The great success of UNIX and UNIX analogs among server systems showed off our frontiers. It’s time to face the truth while pressing two steps forward.”
Providing a mighty and encapsulated shell capable of adapting any aspect of the OS, Windows Vertigo revives technologies already known to UNIX like operating systems for ages. Although outsourcing all graphical behavior, and therefore gaining a system totally maintainable through network access, is a valuable aim, it is not as world-shaking as claimed to be but more or less a wiry necessity in today’s server administration. The reintroduction of long-known techniques seems to be a teasing threnody more tardy and tawdry than tough and tremendous. In this way it is questionable if this Vertigo results from Microsofts well-founded ascendancy or results in Microsofts woeful fall.
