Virtualization Goes Mainstream
InformationWeek is reporting that, during the same week that Microsoft announced the free price for Virtual PC, VMWare 1.0 was released for free as well. Though there were already many free options for virtualization available, these major products signal a shift in the industry. From the article: "There are many ramifications here. Obviously, the slew of products means network managers can now adopt virtual servers into their overall strategies and don't have acquisition costs providing a justification to avoid it. Other than the very-high-end VMware ESX and the midline Microsoft Virtual Server on mainstream XP platforms, virtualization is essentially free wherever you might want to use it."
More idiotic moderation - two hints for you fucknuts...
1.) I have excellent karma, you aren't gonna actually do anything to me by modding me down.
2.) This post, if anything, is offtopic - by modding it redundant you've proven that you're a childish little jackass trying to show how tough he is with anonymous moderation. We all get mod points, lamer - too bad you're too much of a baby to use them effectively. If you wanna mod this down, use the correct option and call it offtopic, or overrated.
Maybe "price", "value". You knew exactly what it meant, yet somehow it warranted a smartass reply. Welcome to slashdot.
