Hypervisor Rivals Targeting VMware

,----[ Quote ]
| "Next year, some of these other vendors are going to be formidable 
| competitors to VMware. VMware won't be the only player in the game anymore," 
| said Burton Group's Chris Wolf. "VMware is going to win the feature war, but 
| if you can pay 25% of the cost of the VMware solution and get what you need 
| then it is worth considering other vendors.

Linux on the Mac

| Before you install Ubuntu, make sure your hardware is ready. I think that 2GB 
| of RAM is a minimum; you're also going to want at least 8GB of free space on 
| your hard drive.

SWsoft and Parallels Prep Virtualization for Different Markets

,----[ Quote ]
| Unlike traditional hypervisor technology used by VMware, which divides a 
| server into several virtual machines on which users can run different 
| applications, Virtuozzo partitions the operating system—either Linux or 
| Microsoft Windows—into virtual environments or containers.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| Parallels Server offers support for 64-bit operating systems, including 
| Windows, Mac OS X and a number of Linux operating systems. (The product can 
| also support some versions of Sun's Solaris OS as a virtual guest.)

Parallels Desktop for Mac: getting better a little at a time

,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, Parallels released an Update RC2 for Parallels Desktop for
| Mac.  For the first time, the application is behaving nicely on my Mac.
| I have my full 3GB of RAM back, the application is running smoothly,
| and Windows XP and Ubuntu feel native on my machine. Vista? Slower,
| but improved over the previous builds of Mac Pro.

Parallels Desktop for Mac

,----[ Quote ]
| If you are planning to purchase Parallels for Windows on your Mac, you
| should take advantage of the opportunity to download and try the free
| open-source Edgy Eft from Ubuntu. I would venture to guess that after
| you use Ubuntu a few times, you may just want to wipe out that Windows
| partition on your home PC and install Ubuntu.
