Look out VirtualPC and VMWare... VirtualBox is in the house

| VMWare: You need to provide your desktop virtualization product for free, and
| I'm not talking about some BS "Player" for free, I mean a full-fledged
| VirtualBox or VirtualPC contending piece of software. With options like
| VirtualBox and VirtualPC available for free, you are starting to lose some
| serious clients, including myself.

| One big benefit of this product is that viewers of a presentation do not have

| their system just so they can get pitched.

| The response was pretty emphatic: you just couldn’t do what Ringside is doing
| with proprietary software, according to Bob and Rich. As an explanation they
| discussed their hopes for getting Facebook application developers not just
| using Ringside for application development, but contributing to the
| development of the Social Application Server itself.

It's unofficial: Microsoft bets business on Linux

| What the press statement didn't mention is that Aruba mobility
| controllers run the Linux operating system which Microsoft has
| aggressively targeted as being inferior to Windows as part of

|
| Pandey's appraisal of Aruba's technology is in stark contrast to
| Microsoft's "Get the Facts" rhetoric which places Windows as a more secure,
| and higher-performing choice over Linux.
