Massimo has a great blog entry questioning whether or not Microsoft’s Viridian hypervisor (coming slightly after Longhorn server) will have any effect of being able to knock vmware from it’s dominence in the x86 virtualization market. Also discussed is the impact of Xen in the x86 virtualization market. I’m not going to attempt to summarize all of Massimo’s points as I don’t think I would do it the same justice. It is a fantastic read though, and coming from a marketplace where everyone is always stating that Microsoft will bury Citrix, my personal .02 is that vmware will be in much the same boat (always staying one step ahead).
