Abstract:
1. A method of displaying information on a display screen, the method comprising: determining, in a pre-boot environment, supported dimensions for display of information on the display screen; restricting, in the pre-boot environment, the supported dimensions to determine restricted dimensions; passing the restricted dimensions to an operating system of a virtual machine supported by a virtual machine manager, wherein the restricted dimensions define a boundary between a first screen portion and a second screen portion; preventing, via the virtual machine manager, a user of the display screen from eliminating the first screen portion; receiving at the virtual machine manager first content having a first type from a first server; receiving, at the operating system operating on the virtual machine, second content having a second type from a second server; and displaying the first content on a first side of the boundary and displaying the second content on a second side of the boundary.
