Virtualization and Microsoft: To Virtualize or not to Virtualize



Longhorn will stress Virtualization OR Virtualization is going to be stressful to Longhorn? Time will tell. This is being discussed at Slashdot as well.

The recent revelation that OS-virtualization player Parallels Inc is owned by hardware-virtualization player SWsoft Inc indicated that virtualization is a complex market, and it is for this reason that Microsoft is looking carefully at its own capabilities before it makes its move.


I sincerely hope for them to be very aware of the complexity involved. Microsoft might just lose everything should they take a wrong approach and/or misinterpret the signals in this very complex virtualization space.
