Comment Virtualization must be coming soon (Score 1) 247

Already, using Windows 8 feels a lot like running VMware on a Linux box did 10 years ago. Win8 Start is the new Ctrl-Alt-F8. It feels like two systems in one. Adding Android as a 3rd option would be a logical step.

Then I believe there will be virtual Android apps on the PC desktop, virtual iPhone apps on Android phones, and eventually, even virtual Win8 tiles on the Windows desktop :-)

And at that time, everybod will have access to all apps, and nobydy knows which OS is running in the bottom of it all.

Thanks! Are there tools that do this automatically? I haven't worked much with Doxygen and usually pick the programming environment most commonly used for the programming target. I've had some good experiences with Eclipse based editors but find the learning curve a bit steep. On the easy and less powerfull end I use Programmer's Notepad and grep in Cygwin.

But if there are good automated tools, I'll take the time to teach myself how to use them.

By the way, the code is for an open source windows driver.

Submission + - How to start reading other's code?

The project is written in C++ using several APIs which are unknown to me. I know embedded C pretty well, so both the syntax, the APIs and the general functionality are things I wish to explore before I can contribute to the project.

Android is the Windows 98 of the mobile world. Everyone's using it and there's a ton of software (apps) for it, but there is a wide range of device quality and the OS isn't all that 'pretty' or user-friendly. Users suffer through without realizing it. iOS is the OS X of the mobile world - polished and functional. webOS is the Amiga of the mobile world. It was amazing and advanced in many ways when it first came out and had so much promise, but competitors have largely caught up to the advantages it once had. I think BlackBerry OS is probably the DOS of the world. It can still keep trucking along for a while, but it's on the way out. I'm not sure what Windows Phone 7 would be...
