Bob Muglia, Senior Vice President, Server and Tools Business at Microsoft, stated thatapplication virtualization is crucial for desktop and servers.
In other words Muglia announced that Application Virtualization will be available also for servers.
This position has a massive impact on the way virtualization will be sold and adopted by customers.
