Mac OS X Apple has apparently changed the licensing for OS X Server 10.5. However, client licensing is still restricted to one instance of the OS per physical machine. According to Parallels and VMware, Apple's rewording of their EULA will allow them to update their respective products to run Leopard server inside a virtual machine. The ability to virtualize Apple's server OS bodes well for further expansion of OS X in the enterprise market.

Regardless of everyone else's opinion of Xservers this was news for me. Separate departments/disciplines on campus use Xservers. The hard sciences and arts - off the top of my head. Virtualizing or `greening` the data center sprawl is a huge push here. So far we have virtualized one dozen of our former physical servers. To virtualize OS X server is just another tool in our arsenal to a manageable and clean data center.
