“All of those cost-cutting changes point suspiciously

“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

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.”
