The main event is Win2k8 Server, no matter what people say. I think that Microsoft is too experienced to try to tackle a vastly superior competition outright.

The first 4 run or can be adapted to run on any os and host any os. Want a bet that this will only run on windows and will only run windows? I recently got mac os x running inside vmware on linux (poorly, but I was just messing around with instructions from the net). If M$ made a cross-platform client and enabled DirectX virtualization, then they would actually have something to compete with. Vmware, Xen, qemu, virtualbox,parallels.

Microsoft would have to make something really, really, really incredible to convince the VMware veterans to switch. I've been using VMware for years and I've never had a problem with it. I tried VirtualPC, but that was a joke basically. And as far as actual hardware virtualization goes for server environments, VMware can't be beat. Does anyone really trust MS to make a good program these days? I know I don't. Sad but true. PxPx is right.

Vmware ESX 3.5 so much more advanced then anything MS has, Dynamic Resource Scheduling, Vmotion, High Availability, virtual desktop infastructure, to name a few. Vmware has had 5+ years to build support for enterprise class hardware which will take MS quite a long time to do. After going to the last three Vmworld's and the Vmware user groups and the Microsoft Virualization user groups I can safely say 90 % of businesses are using Vmware in their production environment. This is a massive project and I can't see people stopping their efforts and switching to MS unless Vmware totally crashes.

On running intel code on PPC was definitely not an easy task. when they used to make Virtual PC, that was Connectix behind the code so it may be the same people who do virtualization for them now; and they have the expertise for sure.

It normally takes them at least three versions to bring out something that actually works as advertised. I'll stick with VMWare I can't see why I should change to an inferior product.

Let's face it, WinXP is only marginally better than 2k, and based on the same tech... Vista is ME repeated, IMHO. And before you fanboiz start giving me sheite, I tried both 32- and 64-bit ultimate on a C2D 4400 with 2x2 GB of RAM and a GF8800 GTS 320, so I'm not complaining about speed... It really is pure crap trough and trough. I really do hope Micro$uck doesn't find a way to fäg this up. This could actually be the first meaningful step forward after Win2k..
