Star Microsoft: Virtualization not 'Mature' for Consumers
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 24th Nov 2006 11:29 UTC, submitted by Kenasai

So, Microsoft is calling their customers idiots.

No only the home users.As most of the money comes from business licensing.

Never attribute to courage what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Of course. Their surplus has made these two things unclear for Microsoft... I really want to see this evolving ;)
