We are also agonizing over consolidation/virtualization. VMware is
expensive $$$. If you are going to consolidate Windows systems you still
need a license for each copy of Windows. Our Windows folks seem to favor
the upcoming Windows Virtual Server. When that comes out it may drive down
the price of VMware.
We tried running Lotus mail on a Lin-z system, but with the extensive spam
and virus checking we do, it was too CPU intensive.
I look forward to trying WebSphere on Lin-z. Some places have made it work
well.

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the mainframe world any more.
