When you dual or multi boot, you can only one run OS at a time.
Is it possible to create an OS of OSes, that would be able to run each OS at the same time on native hardware. This OS would need to compartmentalise each OS so memory areas of one OS doesn't overwrite other OSes memory areas.
Is it possible? I am guess it would take a lot of work.
and just not to be off-topic. I really didn't understand what Serenity Virtual Station is, it sounds the same as VMWARE or Virtual PC, or is it something closer to Cooperative Linux.
