Virtual Server 2005 R2 Will Be Free, Linux Compatible

Here is a suggestion for MS, Paul send this one out to them. If we have a virus on our computer this idea will be like a computer having AIDS but not dying from it because it is just a carrier.

The idea is to build virtual services into the OS in such a way that all Internet speaking applications will run from it, using a default undo disk like ability and some mechanism to make it the core source .vhd or equivalent read only hence un-hackable.

Then design a new proprietary network protocol or neuter the TCP/IP of the carrier or host system in such a way; like maybe take out raw sockets, and low level protocols that are not needed except to allow local LAN connectivity where you would have a private un-hackable protocol that bridges the TCP/IP one or if the case is the neutered TCP/IP case make it so it does not get along with the internet, but can bridge the virtual system so it does get along with the Internet.

The idea is either make applications that need to talk to the Internet virtual like Virtual PC and Virtual Server with the focus of instant recovery and un-hackability so that we can all enjoy the Internet again. Since MS has such a huge base of installed PC’s in the world we would be able to frustrate the average hacker enough to maybe slow them down.

For IIS servers, SQL Servers, Exchange Servers, all running in virtual environments at production level so instant recovery is achieved. Application level virtualization is another possible way, such as a Virtual IE 7.0 where just the browser is detached from the OS just the way OS’s are now.

We can’t stop hackers, not now not ever, but we can put our focus on recovery hence the analogy I used in my first statement. If we got infected it would be like we got AIDS but are only the carriers of it, we can transmit it but we won’t die from it and if undo disk is enabled we can wipe it out until we get infected again.

They need to push this virtualization as far as then can.
