Virtualization Eases Desktop WoesCompanies embrace virtualization to enhance their security and management capabilities, open new computing possibilities, and save on hardware and power costs. Our Joe Kovar takes an overview of how virtualization is changing the desktop PC market: "Virtual desktop technology is on the verge of cutting much of the fat associated with desktop PCs in much the same way that server virtualization has started reducing midrange businesses' server overhead, only on a larger scale. Meanwhile, Steven Burke says an unexpected beneficiary of virtualization is the Mac OS platform: "The virtualization solution phenomenon... is helping to fuel a Mac renaissance in businesses. More companies and even more consumers are making the big jump from the PC to the Mac platform... VMware Fusion is the biggest-selling software product for the Macintosh online and in stores—behind only Microsoft Office." UPDATE: The Channel Test Center tries out Parallels vs. VMware Fusion vs. Boot Camp, in search of the best way to run Vista on a Mac.
