Dell Creating Consumer PCs Complete with Virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| And in a similar fashion to what Parallels and VMware Fusion did for the
| Intel-based Mac community, this could give the Linux operating system a boost
| from consumers who want to use the open source software but don't want to
| lose out on what Microsoft's Windows platforms offer.

Xen was no big loss. VirtualBox and KVM are open source. Qemu is at least
partially open source. And there's VMWare and SWSoft.
SWsoft Reaches New Milestones This Year
,----[ Quote ]
| With all of the hoopla over VMware and Citrix this past week, SWsoft didn't
| get the chance to properly pound their own chest very much. Many people, both
| new and old to the virtualization market, may not realize it, but SWsoft
| would like them to know that they are the second-largest overall
| virtualization software company in the world, the leading desktop
| virtualization vendor and the only company to offer both virtual machine and
| OS virtualization technologies.

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?

| computer resource from the underlying physical hardware and
| demonstrates this is a strategic issue with a broad impact
| that has to be considered at the highest levels of IT management.
