microsoft is also obfuscating virtual server industry

when citrix bought xen it really gave microsoft time to catch up to linux. citrix is a preferred partner of microsoft and IMO just another department of microsoft.

luckily there is kvm for Linux and that is really taking off now and also was around when xen was taking off but now the hardware is getting more pervasive for kvm and so that is really the way to go.

let's just hope microsoft doesn't put the squeeze on Intel and ruin the hardware virtualization market somehow.

but microsoft is obfuscating the virtual server industry just so they can catch up.

they have done this hundreds of times before and are doing it again.

but hey if you have a business model and paid lobbyists living in Washington it is all good.
