“Intel is expected to declare Tuesday that its Virtualization Technology (VT: technology that increases a computer’s efficiency by letting it run multiple operating systems simultaneously) is mature enough for testing and about three months away from prime time,” Stephen Shankland reports for CNET News. “Intel’s newest high-end Xeon processors–code-named Paxville–shipped with VT, but server makers employing the chip didn’t enable the feature. Now, with new BIOS software available from Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM, that’s changing, said Lorie Wigle, director of marketing for Intel’s Server Platforms Group.”
“VT will extend to more widely used chips for dual-processor servers with the release of Dempsey systems in coming months. And Itanium will get the support with “Montecito,” delayed but due later this year… Software support for VT is in the new VMware Server, Wigle said, a newly free package that lets a computer run several operating systems simultaneously in partitions called virtual machines,” Shankland reports. “VT is required to run 64-bit operating systems on the software. In addition, an open-source VMware competitor called Xen uses VT to let an operating system run without having to be modified. That enables Windows to run on Xen.”
Shankland reports, “Microsoft is working on ‘hypervisor’ software to compete directly against similar technology such as Xen and VMware ESX Server, and that project will require hardware support, the company has said. The Microsoft hypervisor, code-named Viridian, is scheduled to debut in an update sometime after Microsoft’s initial release of its next-generation Windows server product, code-named Longhorn Server, Wigle said.”

To Pres. Bush
Don’t pay attention to these jealous people Pres. Bush, they just want the US to fall. They only talk about human rights when we are killing the enemy and not the other way around. Their talk is full of sophisms and traps.
Please Bush, destroy the terrorists and the lefties hidden agenda. Lead us to the light that these night creatures hate so much.

1) If GWB has the time to hang around Mac Daily News, I’d be worried.
2) If GWB understands the word sophism, I’d be surprised.
3) If GWB ever tries to say the “sophism”, I’ll probably be rolling around on the floor – “shopism” anyone.
“They never stop thinking of new ways to hurt our country and neither do we!” – still makes me laugh every time I hear it. And before we have a large debate on it – either his speechwriting staff are idiots for writing the line and not dry-running it to check how it sounds when spoken as opposed to written, or the man himself is at fault for not being able to read a simple sentence without screwing up.
