ABSTRACT:
An operating system is described that is capable of ascertaining whether it is executing in a virtual machine environment and is further capable of modifying its behavior to operate more efficiently and provide optimal behavior in a virtual machine environment. An operating system is enlightened so that it is aware of VMMs or hypervisors, taking on behavior that is optimal to that environment. The VMM or hypervisor informs the operating system of the optimal behavior, and vice versa.
