Sun Snags Open Source Virtualization Company, Innotek
BobB writes to mention Sun has acquired Innotek, open source desktop virtualization vendor. "VirtualBox will remain free of charge under Sun and be placed in the company's xVM portfolio of virtualization products, Steve Wilson, Sun's vice president of xVM, wrote in a blog posting. 'If we're going to continue to give it away, why is Sun investing in VirtualBox? In short, because the developers that build applications have a huge amount of influence on how they're deployed," Wilson wrote in his blog. "We believe that developers using VirtualBox can help guide their friends in the data center towards xVM Server as the preferred deployment engine. Beyond that, I think there is a huge opportunity to link with Sun's other developer-related assets like NetBeans, Glassfish and (soon) MySQL.'"
Innotek... don't you mean Initech?
They buy fire insurance before they start moving desks and taking people's staplers.
I find it appropriate that the story icon is a red Swingline stapler.
Long signatures suck.
Ah, but killing the loose-lipped bird in the bush is worth more than a stone in one hand.
