After years of hoping to crush Linux, Microsoft is trying to show it can get along with its open-source rival.
XenSource has endowed its flagship virtualisation product with better Windows support, the company announced on Monday, but a new version due in June will bring greater changes.
A senior Red Hat executive today maintained the Xen open source virtualisation environment was not yet ready for enterprise use, despite "unbelievable" customer demand and the fact rival Novell has already started shipping the software.
Start-up XenSource has succeeded in booting Microsoft Windows on top of Xen software, an important milestone in its effort to commercialise the virtual machine.
Novell shone the spotlight on its new version flagship Linux product this week, touting a significant new feature to let a server run multiple operating systems simultaneously and thereby be used more efficiently.
Companies that offer virtualisation software are changing their business models and tweaking their software.
A new open-source virtual-machine project has quickly won Linux allies, but its arrival brings complications.
Microsoft is taking a stand on an emerging technology that threatens to reshape software pricing models.
