Abstract: A method for unifying VMs comprises presenting, in a display device, a unified view that includes GUI elements for multiple applications that execute in respective VMs in a computing device. The operation of presenting the unified view may be performed by a unification console that executes in a dedicated VM. The method also comprises (a) after presenting the unified view, receiving, by the unification console, user input pertaining to a selected application; (b) redirecting the user input from the unification console in the dedicated VM to the selected application in its respective VM; (c) receiving, by the unification console outside of the VM for the selected application, application output from the selected application; and (d) rendering output for a user, based on the application output received by the unification console. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A virtual environment manager (“VEM”) simplifies the usability of virtual machines and provides users with an enhanced design for creating and/or for managing virtual machines (“VMs”). For example, a user can select description information and management information to be included in descriptors and according to which a VEM will create and manage various VM environments for various host environments. The VEM automatically creates the VM environments and host environments by sending descriptor description information and data files associated with the description information to virtual machine monitors (VMMs), which create the VM environments according to the description information. A VEM at each host may manage VM environments executed by the VMM, according to the descriptor management information. Thus, a set of descriptors to create and manage a set of VMs for a home computer may be easily modified by a user to create and manage a set of VMs for a work or laptop computer.

Abstract translation: 虚拟环境管理器（“VEM”）简化了虚拟机的可用性，并为用户提供了创建和/或管理虚拟机（“VM”）的增强设计。 例如，用户可以选择要包括在描述符中的描述信息和管理信息，并且根据该描述信息和VEM将为各种主机环境创建和管理各种VM环境。 通过将与描述信息相关联的描述符描述信息和数据文件发送到根据描述信息创建VM环境的虚拟机监视器（VMM），VEM自动创建VM环境和主机环境。 每个主机的VEM可以根据描述符管理信息来管理由VMM执行的VM环境。 因此，用于为家用计算机创建和管理一组VM的一组描述符可以被用户容易地修改以创建和管理用于工作或膝上型计算机的一组VM。

Abstract: A computing device comprises instructions that, when executed, enable the computing device to present a logical representation of a unified view of virtual machines (VMs), each of which executes a respective application in the computing device. The logical representation of the unified view includes a plurality of graphical user interface (GUI) elements for the applications. The operation of presenting the logical representation of the unified view is performed, at least in part, by a unification console that executes in a dedicated VM. The unification console also facilitates operations such as receiving user input pertaining to a selected application among the applications and receiving application output from the selected application. The user input from the unification console is redirected to the selected application in its respective VM. Output is rendered for the user, based on the application output received by the unification console. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
