It's Novell, Microsoft & Citrix vs. VMware with free XenServer

[ Thanks to anonymous for this link. ]

"aw this virtualization shoot-out coming, and I'm not surprised to see Novell on the Microsoft and Citrix side. I'm a little puzzled that Red Hat, after its recent Microsoft partnership, has decided to use KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) to support Windows Server instead of the ready-to-go XenServer. After some thought, though, I think it's both that Red Hat wants to steer clear of getting entangled with Microsoft and that the Raleigh, NC-based company wants to deliver its own independent top-to-bottom enterprise operating system stack."
