Full Virtualization

Ben Fathi, VP of Development in Microsoft's Windows Core Operating System Division comments:

By bringing full virtualization to the desktop operating environment, Microsoft could accomplish two rather lofty goals.

This would be a boon for multi-user systems such as the PC that's shared by a family or a business. In fact, much like "profiles" can move around an Active Directory environment today, with full virtualization, a complete "system" could follow you around, provided a minimum standard of hardware be met. Even better, system maintenance and patching could be standardized in mixed-hardware environments.
