I answered this question recently on SearchSystemsChannel.com.

I recently gave a brief answer to this question on SearchSystemsChannel.com:
“I’m getting ready to recommend server virtualization to a client. Who are the most reliable players in the field and what do they bring to the table?”
Go to SearchSystemsChannel.com for the answer.
In case you were curious what else is out there in the virtualization landscape, I just wrote an answer to that very question.
Happy Reading.
This is just a quick update on my latest article:
“Running Windows as a VM on Linux with VMWare Server”
When I posted this the article had received 798 diggs!
It has also been bookmarked on del.icio.us 427 times!
A few of the great comments from digg.com are summarized below:
“Wow! So is this like Coherence mode but for Linux? I was hoping something like this would come up…” -Kujila
“I think this is a very cool idea for cross-os-interoperability - while maintaining a consistent look&feel.” -cptchaos
“THIS SOLUTION on the other hand seems like the best of both worlds: windows-apps running in their native environment (windows inside vm) and projected (per terminal service) onto a Linux-GUI. VERY COOL.” -cptchaos
And from del.icio.us:
“Good description on running apps directly such as Excel so they appear to run locally.” -RobertJTownley
“For when I finally escape Windows evil clutches..” -DBayn1
“the hawtness” -iver2345
“very cool!, must try” -homerjsimpson
“sometimes linux needs a little windows lovin” -rxram
“This is a better tutorial than I thought. Using 2X Application Server for Windows Terminal Services is a great idea to finally polish off the integration.” -christilden
“Windows apps in Linux. Office 2007, here I come.” -Xinex

I have a new article published at SearchOpenSource.com about running Windows applications in a window on an Ubuntu desktop without the need for a remote Citrix Server. It involves some trickery with VMWare Server, Windows XP, and 2X Application Server with the Linux client
