Hello

Some time ago Michael Vrable talked about copy-on-write memory to enable large numbers of nearly identical machines to run on the same physical hardware. Is this a feasible proposition? I asked a few days ago in the original thread, but no-one seems to have noticed. It seems to me that it would be a very significant feature to offer.

Regards
Peri
