Doing some background reading on a news story about IE8 enabling DEP by default in Vista SP1/2008*(http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/04/08/ie8-security-part-I_3A00_-dep-nx-memory-protection.aspx) I stumbled upon very interesting blog that discusses so many issues with the current technology processor and platform wise that I don't want to attempt summarizing it too much.
If you're passionate about future of platforms such as*Singulary, security and their performance and compat with current code this should make some interesting reading:
http://www.emulators.com/docs/nx01_intro.htm
The actual technical deep stuff starts in part 3 & 4:
http://www.emulators.com/docs/nx03_10fixes.htm
The vision I got out of reading this is that in future (Windows "9"?) we might*be running Singulary-like OS on top of the hardware and by integrating the emulation of current native x86/64 code on the platform the performance would actually be very similar to what it now is without emulation, with the added benefit of*better security to legacy code.
