Last week saw the opening rounds of a new war between incumbent virtualization player VMware versus Microsoft. VMware fired the first shot in a New York Times story and immediately followed up with a whitepaper attacking Microsoft with a list of complaints. Microsoft responded with this blog. I wanted to get to the bottom of this and e-mailed both VMware and Microsoft requesting a teleconference. VMware was brave enough to step up, while Microsoft declined to meet and merely pointed me to its blog response. I’ll do my best to represent both sides fairly, although Microsoft declined to meet or answer any direct questions even after I sent them an e-mail with questions from my VMware meeting.
