Windows Predominates On Virtual Machines
,----[ Quote ]
| Many sites use more than one brand of operating system to run virtual
| machines. The runner-up was Linux, with 52% of the respondents using the open
| source operating system. Unix was third at 30% and Solaris fourth at 29%. The
| figures do not add up to 100% because sites in some cases are using multiple
| brands of operating system in their virtual machines.

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?
