Virtualization--threat or menace?

,----[ Quote ]
| But I think this cat is well and truly out of the bag now, and I see no other 
| reason for virtualization to give Linux an edge over Windows (or vice versa); 
| the relative merits of each platform are still preserved, even in a 
| virtualization-rich environment.

| I think that Windows will continue to succumb to Linux in the data

Virtualization: Linux's killer app

,----[ Quote ]
| Think about it. Even Microsoft supports running Linux on its Virtual
| Server product. Why would it do that? Wouldn't an OS partitioning
| technology, such as that used by OpenVz or Sun Solaris, be more in
| keeping with the kind of homogeneous environments that Microsoft
| would like to see? Why would Microsoft invest its resources to
| support a virtual machine technology that can only open the
| door to Linux in the datacenter?

Virtualisation gets trendy

,----[ Quote ]
| The fact that so many areas of IT are affected by virtualisation is 
| perhaps testament to how fundamental a concept it is to separate 
| computer resource from the underlying physical hardware and 
| demonstrates this is a strategic issue with a broad impact 
| that has to be considered at the highest levels of IT management.
