VMware: New king of the data centre?
,----[ Quote ]
| As VMware pushes the hypervisor to supplant the operating system, Microsoft
| is stuck playing catch-up.
|
| Usually the bully kicks sand in the little guy's face, but VMware is
| switching that story. In a speech at LinuxWorld in August, VMware chief
| scientist Mendel Rosenblum talked up application-specific operating systems
| provided by ISVs that would run on a hypervisor--no general-purpose OS
| needed. You can bet Microsoft took notice.
