So one of our Longhorn design points is to allow role-based deployments. So yes, we ship a multi-purpose operating system but we know they want to deploy maybe just a web server, or file server, or high performance cluster environment. What we found from the server side, especially in the enterprise, is that people want to dis-aggregate their workloads. not so much that people just want a piece that’s modular, but more like: ‘What are you trying to do with the technology?’ We can support that better people can build applications that can run faster. We say we can deliver a tightly coupled environment to market. You can take a loosely coupled environment and say: ‘We’re just going to deliver a set of bits that are modular by nature, then the end user or service provider or whatever can tie those things together as a solution’. For instance, whenever you have a loosely coupled environment, end users have more cost trying to tighten that up, to run their solutions operations, to manage that, to patch that, all those types of things. We look at it less modularity, and more as role-based deployment. “Isn’t there a danger of having an enormous ever-growing monolith? Shouldn’t it be much more modular?
