Microsoft may release Windows as Open Source

Microsoft may release Windows as Open Source

Microsoft could release Windows code. So says Mark Russinovich, one of the most important developers in the company. Russinovich made these statements in ChefConf, a Conference held in Silicon Valley which is mostly attended by Linux users. There, the developer said that we are now facing “a new Microsoft, where an Open Source Windows is possible”.

Russinovich explained this would be an important step for the company evolution, since nowadays most Microsoft’s users and customers rely on Open Source. Therefore, the Redmond giant “also should bet on it”, explained. In addition, he explained that the company already allows Linux in its Azure cloud service and that, in fact, today 20% computers using this service work with the Penguin-OS.

Open Source continues to be one of the most interesting topics according to our readers. In fact, during last two weeks, two of the most read articles in our blog talk about this topic. In particular, the most highlighted posts talk about the deployment of a VDI architecture with oVirt, Open Source tools for developers and the creation of a desktop virtualization platform with vSphere.

How to create a VDI infrastructure with VMware vSphere

Today we continue with our posts series about VDI deployments with the main hypervisors in the market. After dealing with Hyper-V and oVirt, today we talk about VMware vSphere. Our VDI connection broker for Windows and Linux easily integrates with vSphere, since its components are offered in Virtual Appliance format. The elements that make up UDS Enterprise are hosted on the same VMware vSphere platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed by very simple steps.

Once the initial steps have been completed, the UDS Enterprise components are interconnected to each other and are subsequently connected to the platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed. At this time, we will obtain a robust and efficient virtual desktop platform that is prepared to administer and manage the virtual desktops deployed on VMware vSphere, with the virtual desktops now ready for users to connect.
