pointless?

I think there has been some great input in all the above but have to say the article/heading/topic does seem a little misguided.

It does seem a bit like asking if a paintbrush is artistic or not! ... i.e. virtualisation is an fantastic enabler for change, this doesn't mean it is green in itself, nor does it mean anyone who uses it will automatically gain environmental impact advantage.

I do wonder if this was deliberate just to park the reactions?
