VMware is definately "Enterprise Ready". Like a spider is "Fly Ready". Take Microsoft Windows, add hardware that individual projects can afford, mix in developers who can no longer conceive of their applications having to share or run without owning the machine and you get separate sets of servers for every dinky bright idea a management intern can come up with. Cool for an organization with 2 management interns and 2 projects a decade. Bad for "Enterprise" class situations with dozens of the former and hundreds of the later per year. What do you do when your building fills up and the river is completely turned to steam? You switch to 'pretend' servers and try to keep the merry-go-round turning. And the spider sucks your juices out. Of course the bonus is you now have room for all the Project Managers needed to coordinate the management interns. And thus commplete the movement from Information Technology to Information Management. .... Ken
