"the operating system would no longer resemble the kernel mode of
today's OSes, but rather act more like a hypervisor. A concept from
virtualization, a hypervisor acts as a layer between the virtual
machine and the actual hardware."

How is Linux planning to up its support for multicore CPU's? Is there
a road map?

You mean multicore like the suercomputers running under linux right now?
You know, those with *thousands* of cores?


Do you have even a tiny point?

notice your cite's slides are about the need for *Redmond* to ramp up,
only..

Linux has been doing LOTS of cores for lots or years, already..

like, of the top 500 supercomputers in the world today, only five run
Redmond...the 495 the others are running Linux (or its family
Unix/BSD) on machines with thousands of cores..

and, it has been that way for years..
