VMware follows paravirtualisation path
,----[ Quote ]
| The system has been included in the latest version of the Linux
| kernel (version 2.6.21) and includes support for VMware's VMI
| interface. This provides a hypervisor-agnostic paravirtualisation
| interface. Paravirtualised Linux operating systems are modified
| operating systems that have been specifically optimised to run
| in a virtual environment.

| I think that Windows will continue to succumb to Linux in the data

Virtualization: Linux's killer app

| 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?
