Oracle VM, Sun VM, Citrix Xen and even Hyper V to a point are all based on the Xen open source Hyper Visor. Hence my contention that the hyper visor will become a commodity. The true battle ground are the features. Most corporate customers will want…
I will punt that question to my Microsoft Guru Kelly. I just invited him to join the Hui and I will have him bring his much more in depth knowledge to this thread and give you an answer.

- Hi Mark,
I am very interested in Virtualization primarily from a cost and energy savings perspective. Where did you implement Hyper V? Are you a consultant or full time IT?
