there are very big advantages to this.
think at all the schools and formation instaitutes that use
dayly windows machines and don't mind to install linux on
then, how can you teach Linux there? the best way is running
virtual machine on top of windows.
You guys are missing why industry is so excited by Virtualization and
why MS can not allow itself to fall behind.
For big business Virtualization is for the data centre. Say you run an
insurance company, or a bank. Instead of having Applications running
on real machines. You have virtual machines running on server farms of
host machines. These VM machines you can dynamically allocate
resources to (% of host CPU, RAM, disk etc), if you need an extra
server you just spawn a new instance, the system is redundant with
virtual machines doing failover to other host machines, when you need
extra hardware, it is just a standard imaged host machine, to deploy
machines to a Disaster Recovery location is no harder than doing an
offsite backup.
To be able to mix SUSE and Microsoft in this environment and manage
the whole thing with the same tools would be very attractive, for
business.
Virtualization on the desktop has no place for normal users going
about their work in a business environment. Sure it great as a tool
for teaching , testing, developing, demonstrating etc, but there is no
money there, with VMplayer, VirtualPC being given away.
