- Microsoft insults our intelligence on Virtualization security
- With the announcement that Microsoft will not ease up on its EULA End User License Agreement terms for virtualizing lower-tiered versions of Windows Vista, Microsoft has once again pulled out the security argument for its decision again and I must say that I find it rather insulting. It's not that...

- Virtualization: The Beginning of the End of Static Security
- The critical point of security leverage in a virtualized environment is within the hypervisor itself, not behind it. A security solution plugged into this important layer could potentially shield all virtual servers behind it. Virtualization means even more demands for dynamic security solutions that understand all protocols, all application and...

- Images: Install Windows Vista Beta on Virtual PC
- Windows Vista VMC or VMware's VMsHmmm... this has the look and feel of VMware's GSX server so I wonder if Microsoft recreated the wheel from scratch or decided to use VMware's hypervisor to enable this functionality. Surely MS would never do something like that, huh?PXV
