| When it comes to virtualising Linux, VMWare has always had the edge of 
| Microsoft’s Virtual PC which has limited video display support. Although

Red Hat, Microsoft, attacking VMware

,----[ Quote ]
| RED Hat and Microsoft are poised to drive greater enterprise penetration of 
| virtualisation while VMware sits on the sidelines as a bit player,  
| long-serving Red Hat executive Paul Cormier says. 
| Despite VMware's dominance in virtualisation Red Hat products and 
| technologies president Paul Cormier says the virtualisation software 
| company's lack of experience in the operating system space will cause its 
| market share to dwindle in coming years.   
| 
| Describing virtualisation as "the next-generation operating system", Cormier 
| says Red Hat and Microsoft are in a better position than VMware to drive  
| widespread adoption of the technology.
