Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the he-who-controls-the-iron dept.

An anonymous reader writes "VMWare released a white paper detailing its concerns with license changes on Microsoft software that may limit the ability to move virtual-machine software around data centers to automate the management of computing work. Two choice quotes: '"Microsoft is looking for any way it can to gain the upper hand," said Diane Greene, the president of VMware.'

Gavil, a law professor at Howard University. "And Microsoft has no obligation to facilitate a competitor."'"
