The Top 3 Virtualization Vendors Are Who and What?!
    I've been writing a lot about virtualization lately, for two reasons. For one, 
  I think it's a pretty dang important subject. For another, I helped launch 
Virtualization 
  Review, our new magazine and 
Web 
  site, so I'm pretty steeped in all things virtual. 
Having this little bit of knowledge gives me big opinions. So when Saugatuck 
  Research released 
  a report claiming that Citrix, VMware and Cisco are the three most powerful 
  forces in virtualization, I almost choked on my Cheerios. 
Actually, I only disagree 66.6 percent. Citrix, maybe. It has Xen and the best 
  lineup of desktop virt tools. And VMware, absolutely. But Cisco? Not this year, 
  and not next. Cisco has a tool called VFrame that helps virtualize networks 
  and I/O, but when I asked IBM's virtualization guru about it, she had never 
  heard of it. And IBM resells VFrame! 
Am I writing too much or too little about virtualization? Compliments and complaints
