I have sympathy for AMD's position, but let's bear in mind they want to sell lots and lots of chips, and (to be totally cynical) virtualization is not in the interests of a chipmaker interested in high volumes.
I know IBM's software pricing strongly favors virtualization, and most customers benefit strongly from extensive deployment of virtualization. At least at that general level that's a good match. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
