"Virtualization - With the exception of Microsoft's Hyper-V, all virtualization solutions are Linux or Unix-based: KVM, Xen, VMware, Solaris Zones, OpenVZ and QEMU. It's obvious from this list that Linux is the preferred technology for virtualization and saving money. Microsoft's attempt at serving its penny-penching customers is a "too little, too late" scenario, which is one reason they're giving it away with Windows Server 2008 and offering some free licensing along with it. True wallet watchers will deploy Linux-based technologies for real savings over the long haul."
