Gates on Vista, Linux and more
,----[ Quote ]
| Gates: Well, there are many issues here. One is that UNIX has had
| a market share on servers for decades, and there's always been a lot
| of variety. Under that label--Linux--there's an immense amount of
| variety. But, in general, Linux is not nearly as high-volume as
| Windows is on servers. But (it's) significant, so customers want
| new kinds of interoperability.
|
| We've done fantastic things on interoperability. Here, we're doing
| virtual machine interoperability. So you can just have a pool of
| hardware and applications that use Linux, applications that use
| Windows, and just have the VM manage which one needs more
| resource, which one is done, which one needs to be restarted.
