We each behave according to our nature. It should come as no surprise, then, to learn that while a virtualization supplier believes that the operating system is, effectively, a feature, an operating system vendor would argue that the converse is true. The philosophical differences between Red Hat and VMware could not have been more apparent during their respective events - Septemberâs VMworld gathering in Las Vegas and yesterdayâs Red Hat analyst day held at the New York Stock Exchange.

Maybe its because Windows when you get down to it is still A SINGLE USER DESKTOP OS, which had a few features SLAPPED on it to make it look like a server.
Windows became multi user in 1993 with the release of Windows NT. You are talking about Windows 9x or earlier which was indeed crap.

Why do we need to run all these SEPARATE OS's?
On a VMS system or a mainframe, or hell on UNIX like Solaris, and HPUX we could run lots and lots of different applications ALL ON THE SAME system. We could manage them all independently, patch them they would co-exist well, etc...
Seems like a huge waste of resources to have to run TWO whole operating systems just because you can't run Oracle and MSSQL on the same server.
