Microsoft is stepping up the pressure on virtualization leader VMware on the management tools front, releasing its System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2007 product to manufacturing. The software maker also plans to support some third-party virtualization software, including VMware and open-source Xen, in the next version of the product.

Does anyone else see the contradiction?
Not really. The management tools, not the runtime, are what you pay for when you buy a Virtualization product to run on top of another OS. You can download VMWare's runtime for free, just like MS's.
On the other hand, when buying a bare bones implementation, you pay for the whole shebang.

So, they plan on stepping up the pressure on their competitor... by increasing the number of ways their competitor's product can be used?
