Microsoft to Work with Xen on Virtualization
suso writes "Microsoft has released a statement to the press, saying that they are to work with Xensource on making Windows Server work with Xen through Microsoft's own hypervisor technology." Coverage available from Reuters as well. From that article: " As a result of the collaboration, the next version of Windows Server, code-named 'Longhorn,' will provide customers with a virtualisation system that promises to help run both Windows and Linux on the same machine more cost-effectively. Microsoft said it expects to conduct a public trial of Windows Server virtualisation by the end of this year and to release a commercial version of the software within 180 days of the date when Windows Server 'Longhorn' is released. Microsoft aims to release 'Longhorn' by the end of 2007, it said."

Amen to that Brother!
Oh, you meant running under Xen? Sorry, I thought you meant, you know, by itself. My bad.
Lump lingered last in line for brains, and the ones she got were sorta rotten and insane.
Actually, it's the first thing I hear from them in a long time that seems to care about what the customer needs.
No, MS has always been good about listening to its customers; sometimes they are slower than customer like, but they do listen. People wouldn't stick with software that wasn't doing what they required of it.
