Microsoft has no reason to buy VMWare now that they have bought Connectix.
Microsoft Virtual Server will be available sometime in the next year, and

I realize this thread is getting WAY off topic.. but you SERIOUSLY believe
that Microsoft uses "competition" to eliminate companies with significant
marketshare?? That'll be a first. It's much easier to eliminate
your competition (by whatever means) than to take the slow route.
Look for Microsoft to dessimate VMware sometime in 2004 (they will
leave NO survivors). Microsoft "compete" ... LOL!
Btw... show me the Connectix product that hosts on Linux that is superior
to VMware?... answer: none... never, ever, no NOT EVER, going to happen.
So.. we already know that the argument "get better or die" could ONLY
apply to Microsoft... and again, Microsoft will take extremely
drastic measures (no bounds) if that were to ever happen.
