Missing the Virtualization Cluetrain Microsoft and Apple are both treading on very dangerous ground right now. Until recently it seemed impossible that another desktop player could make a real impact on the world, but the two desktop giants of computing appear to be committing what could be a fatal error. In a classic nod to the innovators dilemma both of these companies are fighting the idea that their Operating Systems should be run in virtual environments. It's pretty clear that virtualization will be as big of a force on the desktop as it is on the server and both of these companies are limiting their customer's ability to take advantage of this. Just look at all the developers running multiple OS images on their laptops. Having a single PC that will run Windows, Mac OS and Solaris (at the same time!) is the holy grail. It's a bummer that these guys are making this hard. Posted at 03:02PM Feb 15, 2007 by Stephen Wilson in Virtualization | Comments:
