The Top 8 Myths on VMware Virtualization

Mike Laverick reports on the top 8 myths associated with VMware and Virtualization:

You need to know Linux. You need a Linux guy to run it.

Even if this true, there are still more Windows people around than VMware people. Looking at the cost it will always be cheaper to support a MS solution over a VMware solution.

My Exchange/SQL/Oracle [insert another application] guy says his applications don’t run in Virtual Machines

Virtual Machines will always run slower than if they ran on physical machines.

You VMware people are worse than Apple/Linux people - biased and hate Microsoft.
VMware will become like Novel or Lotus.

VMware will become like Novel or Lotus.

Microsoft doesn’t support you running Windows in VMware Virtual Machine.

Microsoft will use their ownership of Windows to make it perform faster/reliable than in any other VM

Mike includes answers to each of these myths in his blog at:
