The part of the presentation that seemed most interesting to me was the
ESX server. This seems a lot like the early IBM VM operating system,
which completely virtualises the hardware. I thought this was really
clever when I first heard of it many years ago. I have often wondered
what the requirements on the instruction set for a CPU are to make this
possible.
My organization is a 98% Microsoft shop, and I have gotten myself a
reputation as the "open source nut". VMWare should make a great tool for
consolidating our all-too-numerous Windows servers.
Thanks for the useful comments, to everyone who replied.
