Software Maker Plans to Share as Way to Fight Microsoft - New York Times

...and that software maker is VMware. Why do I care about this? Well, remember a couple of months ago I mentioned I'd explain a 3 week absence, VMware is the reason. I led a project which used this software to virtualize most of our server infrastructure. It was a lot of work and fun. We're working on the tweaking and tailoring to our environment, but I highly recommend it.

Also, I've virtualized my entire desktop. My main PC is now just one big file. It allows me to use a variety of operating systems in my normal day. Very cool.
