Virtualized Desktops: A Real MSP Opportunity?
,----[ Quote ]
| Plenty of technology companies share in the virtualized desktop vision. For
| instance, IBM is working with Canonical (promoter of Ubuntu Linux) and
| Virtual Bridges to offer virtualized Ubuntu desktops on Linux servers. The
| IBM strategy openly attacks Microsoftâs fat client model, and aims to charge
| customers $50 per seat (per year, I believe, though I need to double check).

Is server virtualization boosting Linux adoption?
,----[ Quote ]
| One large German automaker, for example, started its virtualization effort
| with Windows but now is increasing the number of SUSE-based virtual machines,
| at least partly due to the availability of Linux-based enterprise
| applications, he said. Hardware improvements in this year's chipsets have
| boosted virtualization across all platforms by reducing memory latency, which
| had been a deterrent for running virtualized enterprise applications, he
| said. Input/output and CPU latencies were addressed in previous hardware
| upgrades, he said.
