VMware chief says the OS is history

| The VDC OS is an attempt to extend the use of virtualization beyond the 
| server, where it is widely used today, and apply the same principles to all 
| the other hardware in a data center, including network switches and storage.

Dell to stuff hypervisors in flash memory

,----[ Quote ]
| Dell CTO Kevin Kettler today confirmed these plans during a speech here at 
| LinuxWorld, saying the company expects to see major performance and 
| power-saving improvements by dumping a hypervisor in flash. Customers will 
| basically "boot to a virtual machine-ready" state, he said.

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?
