Analysis of: Microsoft Virtualization Products Due In Thirty Days | www.informationweek.com

Implications: If you have ever worked with Microsoft’s Virtualization you will then know there is a reason it is free. It does not work very well. VMWare is so far in front of them that it’s not even funny. As long as MS keeps their virtualization technology dependent on their OS I will be skeptical from the get go. Give me a virtualization product that will run on a low over head kernel such as Linux, with out a full blown OS, well I’ll choose that product over MS any day, So will the enterprise customer, so far. I really don’t see MS changing anything anytime soon in the virtualization arena. We are still seeing huge investments into VMWare, but the ROI is well worth it.

Analysis: Just another lonely IT systems engineer in the real world......Thats all!
