Can VMware's open standards moves halt Microsoft?
Virtualisation market could bust wide open shortly

| Microsoft is coming -- this much virtualisation market leader VMware
| knows. But the company, led by Diane Greene, seems to know exactly how
| to stave off the software giant. But is it enough?
|
| At the launch of Virtual Infrastructure 3, the theme throughout was
| openness. That's the weapon the EMC subsidiary hopes will armour it
| against the threat that Microsoft poses. The openness ethic is about
| building an ecosystem of partners and developers, with the aim of
| putting VMware's market share and mindshare so far ahead that Redmond
| cannot catch up.
