Not  a bad choice this week but after next week the rumors are strong that
not only is Citrix going to give away the hypervisor, but also the
Enterprise features such as Xen Motion and storage repositories. It will get
very interesting, very quickly if this really happens!!

 

How come I get the feeling that VMWare is the next Novell!?!!?!  :-)

Wow... we recently bought VMware ESX for 7 servers. I'm wondering if that
was a bad fiscal choice in light of this.
