Microsoft (MSFT) Details Plans To Take On VMWare (VMW)
Published:
One stock which may come under more than normal pressure tomorrow is virtualization software company VMWare (VMW). Microsoft (MSFT) disclosed detail of its plans to take on the successful IPO with offerings of its own.
MSFT has bought startup called Calista Technologies to beef up its products in the field. According to The Wall Street Journal the company "plans to offer a free virtualization component with its upcoming Windows Server 2008 operating system, which is scheduled to be delivered this quarter."
It should be a nice, bloody fight that will go on for years.
