I sure hope so.....as much as I dislike Windows, I'm starting to
collapse my single-use Mac Servers to Windows so I can VM them. I
hate to say it, but I need the space in my server rooms and I need
to use less power.
Not having a VM solution is hurting Apple, or will eventually.
Agree. I'm starting to put services into our Red Hat Enterprise
Linux VM environments instead of Mac OS X Server, specifically
because of numerous advantages in our environment, not the least of
which is cost, for VMs. The benefits of using Linux in our VM
environments outweighs the benefits of running Mac OS X Server as
the environment.
Ironic, because I am the biggest supporter of Mac OS X Server as a
platform in our datacenter environments. Now I only deploy Mac OS X
Server only if it is absolutely necessary. :-/ That would be
different if I could virtualize Mac OS X Server.
