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."
I don't think that the code name Longhorn is fooling people any longer.
My rantings, only longer and with better spelling..
Microsoft aims to release 'Longhorn' by the end of 2007
Typical for a corporation. Billions of dollars for marketing and not willing to shell out those 500 bucks that could buy them a decent scope to actually hit what they aim for...
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
