If Windows still behaves that way and, AFAIK Microsoft had no reason to fix it, then it would not be possible to include Windows in such a configuration. I've seen PCs dual boot Windows and Solaris. . . . ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 17:21:43 +0000 From: "Main, Kerry" Subject: RE: Itanium / Integrity question Message-ID: > From: Michael Unger [mailto:spam.to.unger@spamgourmet.com] > Sent: December 1, 2007 11:24 AM > To: Info-VAX@Mvb.Saic.Com > Subject: Re: Itanium / Integrity question > > On 2007-12-01 02:54, "Richard B.

Unless you are running something like VMware, each OS requires dedicated dr= ive (or SAN partition). Good news is that with drives being so cheap these days, this is usually no= t an issue. With 1 Integrity Dev server, you can support your application on OpenVMS, L= inux, Windows, HP-UX and other OS's that run on IA64. Simply use separate disks f= or each OS and reboot as required.

Reinhardt- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - The Rosetta client display is the best I've seen to communicate the protein-folding idea to people of all ages. I recently tried it out for a few folds just to see what it looked like (I'm a science geek) but didn't continue becuase I had already thrown all our PCs at work and home behind folding[at]home. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=neil_rieck ### On a related note, the Folding[at]home client for Windows includes a small amount of CYGWIN run-time in order for it to work on that platform. And this fact got me thinking: The OpenVMS Engineering folks have been pushing their "UNIX Portability Initiative" for years now as can be seen with stuff like GNV, etc. http://h71000.www7.hp.com/portability/ Maybe a few good people at HP could also port BOINC and/or Folding[at]home clients? As I stated in my first post to this thread, IBM is already doing something like this with their WCG project. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_community_grid I've got a few OpenVMS AlphaServers running 24/7 that should be contributing to curing Alzheimer's etc. when they're basically doing nothing else.
