There's a New Mag in Town: Virtualization Review

Over the last few years, almost no one launched new computer magazines. Of course, the exception is 1105 Media, which started Redmond magazine in 2004, Redmond Channel Partner in 2005, and broke out Redmond Developer News in 2006.

Later this month, 1105 lets loose with Virtualization Review, and I'm lucky to be a part of it. The premiere issue includes profiles of VMware, Microsoft and Citrix/Xen; a roundup of top PC virtualization tools; a treatise on the state of storage virtualization; a peek at Hyper-V; and loads of industry news.
