,----[ Quote ]
| Here's the problem with how VMware apparently uses Linux (though there's

| system).

| VMware’s use of Linux is hardly a secret that’s just been
| uncovered—as the usual corporation-hating online mob crying “scandal!” seems
| to be implying. The architecture of ESX Server has been known for years.
| Books have been written about it.
