We'll discuss the technologies forming and building upon virtualization, including the hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor), replay (deterministicrecording and replaying of all hardware and software events), and virtual machine-based disaster recovery.

In addition, we'll share the lessons learned from jumping head-first into the consumer software and Mac worlds, and how"thinking different" applies to porting a massive source code base to its third platform (after Linux and Windows).This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team.
