Apple's Snow Leopard Completely Blows It Virtually
,----[ Quote ]
| However, while Robin thinks that storage was a major letdown in Snow Leopard,
| I think where Apple really blew it was in Virtualization, particularly with
| not shipping OS X Server or Desktop with a free hypervisor or making one
| available for download.

VMWare or Xen? Depends on Your Fluency in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| You hear it all the time: Xen is not ready to take market share from VMware
| because it is not as mature a product. Many disagree, because all the core
| functionality exists in Xen, but it isn't configurable via a unified GUI. In
| this article, we explain what maturity means and how you can decide which
| aspects are really important to your IT organization.

Can Ubuntu 9.10 Outperform Mac OS X 10.6?
,----[ Quote ]
| Of the 26 tests shown in this article, Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" was the
| clear winner in 12 of the 26 tests while Snow Leopard had won a handful and
| the rest of the tests had results that were too close to call or unchanged
| between the Apple and Canonical operating systems. Ubuntu 9.10 can certainly
| compete with Mac OS X 10.6 when it comes to the performance, but of course a
| few of these tests do show performance regressions compared to the earlier
| Ubuntu 9.04 release, an area where Ubuntu developers could improve.
| Additionally, not all areas of the system or hardware combinations were
| tested, such as with the Intel Linux graphics performance struggling compared
| to Mac OS X. On top of that, the Ubuntu Linux installations had NVIDIA's
| proprietary driver manually installed, where as the "out of the box"
| experience on Ubuntu does not provide any 3D acceleration for NVIDIA
| hardware.
|
| Stay tuned for our large Mac OS X, Linux, OpenSolaris, and BSD operating
| system comparison in the next month.
