Oh, yes, it does. It really does. But when we started with
Virtualization, all of vmware's offering costed a lot of money, and we

we're not running any production works in VMs.

Still, Hyper-V is a major improvement over VS2005, so i'd guess MS is
coming en par with vmware one step at a time.

I'm going to make an observation here, Lukas, and you can take it or leave it.

If there is anything in the System i that you don't perceive to be as good as Microsoft, be it function or price or marketing or whatever, you complain long and loud about how awful IBM is and basically make it seem like only an idiot would use their products. Yet when Microsoft has an obviously and inarguably inferior product that is clearly lagging behind competitive products, you say they are "coming en par".

Do you see how that might make those of use reading your posts think that perhaps you let your bisaes cloud your judgment, and to thus perhaps dismiss your comments just a little bit?

Please, no offense intended, I'm just pointing out something I've observed. I'm certainly not immune to bias myself. In fact, I'm clearly biased in my love of the System i. But then again, these are midrange mailing lists <smile>.
