The operating system still count?

This post is part of our channel ReadWriteCloud, which is dedicated to coverage of virtualization and cloud computing. The channel is sponsored by Intel and VMware. Read their latest white paper: how to build the business case for virtualization.

unix_logo-1.jpg Former Apple exec Jean-Louis Gassée wrote a post today on Monday note claiming "The OS doesn't matter". "Once upon a time, operating systems used to matter much," begins."They defined what a computer could and couldn't do. The" old "OS orchestrated the use of resources, memory, processors, input/output (i/o) to external devices (screen, keyboard, printers, disks, network ...)".

But now, there is only one operating system, supports Unix: Gassée. And, as such, the operating system is no longer matter. or at least, its definition warrants a review.

That points to a number of recent decisions to move into operating systems based on UNIX (or UNIX-like)-RIM's recent announcement to perform his new Tablet playbook on QNX, for example-Gassée says "we have the spiritual sons of UNIX that live inside the cloud, fueling the millions of Linux servers running on Google, Facebook, Amazon".

Gassée knows that Windows remains an exception to its contention that there is only one operating system. But he argues that the PC industry, where he dominated the Windows operating system, is now "a Highland. 'But otherwise, growing Cloud and smartphone segments, is a UNIX/Linux world.»

By declaring the OS incorporeal, Gassée means that technical challenges to make your computer "make things better" is no longer a question of a "best" OS. rather, he argues, these challenges are in the areas of the user interface and development tools.

Have applications and browser supplanted the OS? what do you think? the operating system that counts?
