I came here to make the same comment.
Its ironic (old)microsoft exerted so much effort to put the personalities in place (OS/2, posix etc), then (mid)microsoft systematically destroyed that work under Balmer, and now (new)microsoft are reimplementing the same thing under a (seemingly) completely different system.
- akiselev 11y agoTo be fair, this new implementation is very completely different. If we had the same kind of experience with virtualization and hardware with VT-i/x/d or AMD-V when Microsoft was developing personalities, the chips would have landed very differently.
