Microsoft relents on virtualization
There’s no question that running operating systems in virtual machines (VMs) is going to be very prevalent in the future. After being a dog in the manger about allowing the lower price Vista versions to be run in a VM, Microsoft has changed its policy. Ken Fisher writes:
It only took them a year longer than it should have, but Microsoft has finally relented and approved the use of Windows Vista Basic and Premium Edition in virtualized environments, for both “consumers” and business users. Among other things, the change means that Mac and Linux users can now run Windows Vista in a VM without having to pay for the more expensive Business or Ultimate editions.
