Virtual Linux: Platform and OS Linux Virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| Virtual Linux is accomplished through many
| techniques, ranging from emulation to platform
| to OS virtualization. Indeed, Linux is a
| unique operating system in its breadth of
| virtualization solutions that are available.
| In this article, we'll explore the various
| ways that virtualization is achieved and then
| review the various solutions provided through
| virtual Linux.
|
| When we talk about virtualization solutions,
| we tend to talk about specific products
| offered by specific companies. But when we
| talk about virtualization solutions with
| Linux, we instead talk about a rich and
| diverse open source ecosystem.

Gamers Mad at Sony for Yanking PS3's Linux Compatibility
,----[ Quote ]
| A group of Linux users has filed suit
| against Sony, upset about the company
| yanking Linux capability from its
| PlayStation 3 (PS3) game console.
|
| When PS3 made its debut in 2006, it gave
| users the option to run a so-called
| alternate operating system, something that
| couldn't be said of Nintendo Wii or Xbox.
| The "Install Other OS" feature was popular
| among gamers who used Linux, the Unix
| operating system that is free to download.

Guest operating system support: Microsoft's conflict
,----[ Quote ]
| That last sentence resonates with me. It does
| change the story when you are the OS maker.
| And it runs in direct contrast to what the
| goals of a hypervisor vendor should be. To
| me, that statement read, "To promote a
| unified support model between the many
| applications, OSes and marketing teams within
| Microsoft, we are imposing artificial
| limitations on Hyper-V support."
|
| We have seen Microsoft impose such limits
| this before, as it did in adjusting its
| virtualization licensing to limit the
| advanced VMware features that Microsoft's own
| virtualization products could not support. As
| soon as Hyper-V could support these features,
| Microsoft made its licensing models more
| friendly. Windows has been restricted to
| promote Hyper-V, and now Hyper-V has been
| restricted to promote newer Microsoft OSes.

Why Microsoft is sabotaging desktop virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| Analysis: Microsoftâs licensing makes VDI unaffordable, to keep its
| stranglehold on desktop Windows licenses intact
|
| [...]
|
| Thereâs no other way to cut this: Itâs simply way more expensive to license a
| Windows desktop OS for a VDI environment than it is to license one for a
| physical environment. Even if you upgrade to a new major OS revision during
| those three years by taking advantage of the Software Assurance plan included
| in VECD, youâre still paying more than you would if you did the same thing
| with a desktop client.
