I'm watching Douglas Fisher's keynote at JavaOne right now, and he's showing a slide that shows how Intel wants to participate in every layer of the software stack, from BIOS to applications.
One layer he puts on his slide, above firmware and below operating systems, is virtualization. It's the first time I've seen all the major players laid out. The slide has the following:
Xen, Sun xVM, VMware, Oracle, Citrix, Microsoft.
I think that's good for virtualization, and should make it clear that VMware actually has some work to do to remain competitive (or dominant).
The next couple of years in virtualization is going to be really interesting.
