"Virtualisation is the Next Big Thing in computing, and the lesson of Vista
is that Microsoft will have to embrace it to survive in the operating system
market. The trouble (for Microsoft) is that the leader in the technology is
Xensource, a spin-out from Cambridge University's Computer Laboratory. And
here's where the delicious ironies begin. For not only is the lab housed in
the William Gates Building (in recognition of a donation by the Microsoft
boss), but Xen's core technology is - wait for it! - open source, which in
Redmond is still viewed as the spawn of the communist devil."
Joining the enemy is not only a sign of weakness. It's awareness and
realisation of a death knell. Gates sidleles with the winning side. But
being Open Source, he deelevates his company and puts it in a head-to-head
battle with rivals whose cost is zilch.
Ballmer has a nice chair collection. Maybe they can make a profit selling
these on a backyard sale.
Best wishes,
Roy
