Hmmm. David and Adam work for the same company. David said:
- MS buying Connectix was a clear step in that direction, and they have - already announced that Longhorn will have virtual machine capabilities built - in. So, 2005ish, methinks. - -- db But Adam said: - Oh, to be young and naive again. - Microsoft bought Connectix purely so that they could produce Mac - versions of Office by dumping Office into VPC, and get rid of their - actual Macintosh developers, because it was pretty embarrassing to the - Windows side that Office looks and smells better on Mac than on - Windows. Microsoft has no interest in selling you a Virtual Server. If - they buy VMWare, it will be to kill it. - Adam But all the public information we really have to go on is this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/news/bulletins/vmnews. mspx So, perhaps someone knows something that contradicts the MS press release??? Inquiring minds would like to know. My lips are sealed. Scott Ledbetter StorageTek
