More free virtualization software

On Wednesday, Microsoft announces that it will give its desktop virtualization software, Virtual PC, for free. Today, VMware continued the same game as it announced that it's former VMware GSX Server product -- with the about $1500 price tag -- is now available as a free product called VMware Server.

As a developer, I won't complain. But this boom of free virtualization software just shows how important virtualization has come. Now it's the time to get it to the masses.
