How does Xenocode describe the embedded operating system they've developed?
XENOCODE VIRTUAL DESKTOP SOFTWARE
Xenocode OS virtualization technology allows IT administrators, system integrators, and software publishers to dramatically reduce the costs and complexity associated with development, setup, configuration, deployment, and maintenance of software applications, and to deploy legacy applications on Windows Vista. As a result, Xenocode-virtualized applications have essentially the same performance characteristics as native executables, allowing for easy deployment on corporate Intranets, the web, USB keys, or existing infrastructure such as Microsoft SMS, LANDesk, Altiris, ZENWorks, Unicenter, or AppStream. Unlike hardware virtualization solutions such as VMware and Virtual PC, which emulate the underlying hardware and therefore require an entire copy of the host operating system, Xenocode OS virtualization technology emulates operating system features required for application execution. Xenocode is a next-generation virtualization technology that allows applications to be deployed in lightweight, pre-configured, single-executable files that execute instantly on any Windows desktop. Xenocode virtualized applications require no setup, configuration, client, or device drivers, are isolated from external DLL and dependency conflicts, and run properly on locked-down desktops. Xenocode OS virtualization technology allows complex applications to be deployed in lightweight, pre-configured virtual executables that run instantly, anywhere. Xenocode's marketing materials include the following snippet:

It's an interesting albeit sharply focused story. Furthermore, we discussed where Xenocode's virtualization technology and its Xenocode Virtual Operating system fit in the Kusnetzky Group model of virtualization technology. As I trudged down the path towards a greater understanding of all virtualization technologies, I met Kenji Obata, Founder, CEO and all around interesting person, of Xenocode and we had an interesting discussion of application virtualization and the role it plays in overall desktop virtualization. Dan's journey into desktop virtualizaiton land continues with this post.
