Gartner Predicts Doom for Big, Fat Windows
Windows is dying because of virtualization (and because it's so darn fat)!
Only
virtualization
can save Windows! Or so say the know-it-alls at Gartner, anyway.
Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to us, either. We're scratching our heads
here, and so
is Doug Barney, editor in chief of RCP's sister publication, Redmond
magazine.
So, Windows is bloated (fair enough), which means that virtualization will
eventually lead to its demise (hmm), but the only way to save Windows is to
thin it out with virtualization technology. There's some sort of infinite loop
here, and we want out of it.
