Oslo: Remodeling Windows!!!

Microsoft did a great job in posting many recording of PDC sessions on online in channel9 quickly. The session titled, "A lap around Oslo", by Douglas Purdy and Vijaye Raji provided a very good overview of the Oslo platform. I was able to watch several other sessions on Oslo also. This gives me a much different perspective of Oslo than I was able to learn last night from playing with the Oslo SDK. OK, I understand the key point of Oslo now.

Oslo is the new direction that Microsoft has taken to replace the existing file system + registry based OS with a model driven architecture powered by Oslo.

With Oslo, Microsoft can make all applications to adopt the model driven architecture. Basically everything stored on PC today can be modeled, e.g.,

• user data such as office documents, emails, images, and videos;
• program files including dlls, exe, and registry data;
• system configurations, logs, and even bios.

Wow! the windows OS and its applications can be completely remodeled. This will be a very exciting thing to watch.
