VMWare Eats Microsoft's Lunch
feminazi writes "Jeff Boles attributes VMWare's dominance over Microsoft in the virtualization market to a combination of product depth and focus, but especially to the fact that 'VMWare is actually delivering Microsoft's product in the way that Microsoft should be delivering it.' The ease of GUI but with those enterprise-ready traits that Microsoft is still struggling with: application separation, and decent resource utilization."
Yeah I guess that is why hotmail just shits all over gmail :)
Friends don't let Friends use Internet Explorer.
And MSN search vomits chairs at Google search.
:( What a bully.
Oh, I get it. So what we really want from the Microsoft OS is Ubuntu.
or, rather RHEL.
Is this phrase really in common usage?
Yes.
It doesn't make any sense.
Sure it does. Just because you aren't clued in to the idiomatic meaning doesn't mean it's ready to buy the farm. Not that it's a black and white issue, mind you, but frankly I could care less.
Keep it on the black part, dude.

Just wanted to say that I was giddy with glee to find that this article was tagged 'lunch'

That's pretty much a given, on Slashdot.
Come on guys. Seriously. "Lunch"? Tagging was supposed to use humans to actually process what's important. Somehow I can't believe that slashdotters have coded a broken AI to tag articles for them.
"Lunch"? This article has anything to do with "lunch"? Give me a break.
When one company yoinks business right out from under another company's nose, then the latter company is losing.
Unless it's Microsoft. That's not called "Eating Microsoft's lunch". That's called "doing Microsoft's research for them".

I'm sad because I don't have modpoints today. That's the funniest thing I've seen in months. I'm still giggling five minutes later.
But just try to explain it to outsiders.
"See, Microsoft had this little problem with the transition of hotmail to NT...the server smelled funny so they put it back...uh, so there's this fierce rivalry between Microsoft and Google...lawsuits...uh...developers! developers! developers!"
Yet another reason why Linux weenies aren't headlining the comedy tours this summer.
So, you're saying Ballmer is a tosser?

Ignore this signature. By order.

No... I...
Go Shooter!
You work in marketting and you say things like and just as good as (better than?) MicroSoft Virtual Server
And to make it even worse, you're saying this about a product that just wipes the floor with Virtual server. Be more positive man!
Well, VMWare is eating Microsoft's lunch (via VirtualPC), but it's then passing on some of the nutrients. Kinda.
I'd better stop pursuing that analogy, there's a bad mental image coming up.
