VMware: Another Netscape?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the into-the-fold dept.

An anonymous reader writes " This CRN article states that Microsoft is about to buy Connectix and enter the server consolidation market. Connectix makes virtual machines products that compete with those of VMware. Quote: 'The technology will be integrated into the Windows code, sources said.' Will Microsoft be able to pull this one off? Will their virtual machines run operating systems other than Microsoft's?"

    Hi.
    Um... This is... well
    Ah. To get straight to the point, this is the most boring post ever.

    Really. There is nothing boringer (that's not really a word... look it up on Google if you don't believe me).

    Just to clarify...
    the article is not boring...

    the parent post to this post is not boring...
    it is solely this post that you are actually (why are you?) reading right now.

    I'm sorry
    I didn't want to be boring, but I can't help it
    I read boring books and watch boring movies, and eat boring food.

    I am boring

    not as in "I am a boring person", but "I am boring" or "Boring is me"... I=boring=me.

    Sorry, I just had to clarify.
    Anyhow, please don't be so boring either...

    Hi,

    I have my PowerBook 17" on order, it is my first Mac.

    I was wondering how good is Bochs on Mac OS X?
    I will need to run just a very few Windows applications on it...

    Thanks!
