VMware free server, Microsoft free VirtualPC
As expected, VMware has decided to make VMware Server free to use. VMware Server is a nice product that has some great methods for creating, managing and deploying virtual machines. It is a great product for consolidation and testing.
At the same time, Microsoft has made VirtualPC free. This is the desktop product rather than the server product, Windows Virtual Server 2005, which is already free.
The desktop product is great for those situations where you want to test an operating system or create a protected or isolated environment for testing.
With either announcement, there really is no excuse any longer for not trying out desktop virtualization or server consolidation using virtualization techniques.
