Until the year 2008 European Union will start a funding program aimed at producing a new OS able to compete with microsoft. This trend as already started with a program to equip public and state institutions with a Linux based OS, thus cutting down the costs of Windows licenses.
The new OS will be targeted at the anonimous everyday user and shall have many new unique features. It will be made upon Open Code philosophy, probably using already working Linux achievements.
One of the new unique features will be the multitasking ability this OS will have, not by running several programs at the same time, but by allowing several users at the same time. For instance, if a family as three potential computer users in a given home, it doesn''t make sense that:
a) they use the same computer one after another;
b) they have three computers.
This new OS will make it possible to have a single machine at one, with as many simple workstations (i.e. Keyboard, Screen and a DVD drive) as one wants. The three users will be working at the same time, each one with his own business, all of them in the same machine.
