Microsoft a distant third in mock debate on virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| VMware's going to win the virtualization battle, and Microsoft won't even be
| its nearest competitor.
|
| That was the outcome of a mock debate last week in which analysts
| representing VMware, Microsoft and the Xen open source hypervisor lobbied for
| votes from an audience of IT executives attending Forrester Research's IT
| Forum in Las Vegas.

Organised by people whom Microsoft seemingly hires every now and then.
“Analysts sell out - that’s their business model… But they are very concerned
that they never look like they are selling out, so that makes them very
prickly to work with.”

Desktop virtualization is inevitable
,----[ Quote ]
| At the risk of sounding like an IT marketing cliche, desktop virtualization
| could be a win-win. IT gets operational simplicity and security while users
| get freedom of choice. With virtualization in place, users can bring in their
| familiar Macs and do their jobs without a hitch. Sure, the burden goes to the
| data center and the network, but aren't we headed in that direction anyway?
