[THIN] Re: Citrix to give away XenServer FREE

Not  a bad choice this week but after next week the rumors are strong that not only is Citrix going to give away the hypervisor, but also the Enterprise features such as Xen Motion and storage repositories. It will get very interesting, very quickly if this really happens!!

 

How come I get the feeling that VMWare is the next Novell!?!!?!  J

Wow... we recently bought VMware ESX for 7 servers. I'm wondering if that was a bad fiscal choice in light of this.
