Virtualization: A New Reality for Corporate IT

,----[ Quote ]
| As of November 2006, IDC, an IT research organization, estimated that 45 
| percent of all servers purchased in 2006 would be virtualized and that the 
| technology is used by three-quarters of firms with more than 500 employees. 
| This technology also makes sense for some smaller businesses.

It's not Windows vitrualising Windows, so clearly Linux shows up in most of the

Some companies don't even realise that they use Linux.
