\b Notes\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li380\b0 At a high level the technology looks ok.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}We tried to agree on the following goals.\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li760 We want to be able to MBR all of a users files, application settings, application installations, and computer settings.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Except for legacy applications that we don't have manifests.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Except for settings that cost more to move then they are worth.\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li380 We are still not in complete agreement on the scope of our work.\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li760 Alex based this proposal on the need to make a better migration tool.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Michele asked if we should consider rewriting, porting, or extending Fusion for Odyssey\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Bharat said that was secondary and hopefully our solution to MBR would make it easy to implement Fusion.\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li380 We discussed the possibility of virtuallizing the file system and registry.\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li760 Michele would like the UI to only show the user's files.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Bharat would like the user to not have to care about affecting the OS and application installation.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Everyone agreed that it would be nice to MBR by simply dragging the my computer icon somewhere else.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Murthy feels that a virtualization could be implemented on top of our architecture after we finish defining the architecture.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}We discussed the option of completely virtuallizing the file system and registry for all applications.\par
|
||
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\fi-380\li1140 This supports a more complete list of applications in a more reliable way.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}This is far more work then we can do.\par
|
||
{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Would this mean we would virtualize the operating system so we fool the applications into thinking they are running on an arbitrary version of the OS?\par
