The Three Laws of Virtualization by JT Agnello
As a 32-bit OS, various methods have arisen from within OS/2 to get at 64-bit applications “elsewhere” on the network. At the same time, the power of both hardware and virtualization technology has increased by leaps and bounds over the decades since OS/2, and most beneficial of all, ArcaOS itself runs well in a VM.
By developing the three laws of virtualization, new possibilities can be seen for applying the power of virtualization to problems. If a solution doesn’t violate a “law” of virtualization, it can be exploited.
Within OS/2, without breaking any of the 3 laws of virtualization, we will run a 64-bit application within its own window frame, in PM. Imagine running 64-bit Notepad++, or Autocad, or any other 64-bit program needed, without remoting into a separate physical machine on the network.
In a rare turn of events, it is Microsoft software that will help enable us, in this particular case, to run 64-bit applications under OS/2, thanks to the 3 laws of virtualization!
