I would agree. There's an excellent analysis of these two papers in this

Hi Guys,
Well, recently a vulnerability of Cache memory in Intel Chip was
published.
Sorry by off-topic message, but I think it is worth reading.

I tried Windows 2003 Server to install and this was working. Depending on
which z/Series machine you have, the emulation is

I wasn't speaking about KVM on any particular architecture. It's a nightmare
for everyone. If Xen is any illustration, I

The z/VM group here has historically handled zLinux. With the dramatic
expansion of zLinux, we have changed that to the z/VM group handling zLinux
engineering, with the distributed SA groups taking on the day to day zLinux
administration.

they do care about is what Marcy said: support. Until ISV support is
there for OpenSolaris on System z, OpenSolaris will have limited growth
