“What really annoys me, though, is the The Foundation’s
attitude towards virtualization. Take this comment from a Linux
coder at IBM, which didn’t come from The Foundation’s Summit, but
pretty much sum’s up its general philosophy:“”I trust Linux to run on my dvd player, my laptop, and to run
on the servers that manage my 401k. Is virtualization so much
harder than every other problem in the industry that Linux is
somehow incompatible of doing it well on its own? Of course not.
Virtualization is actually quite simple compared to things like
real-time.”“Wow. If Microsoft has ever been criticized for trying to make
Windows do everything, then The Foundation should be criticized
ten-fold since they’re doing the same thing but under the auspices
of being a “non-profit consortium.””
