Ed Moltzen: VMware wanted a discussion on the return on investment strength of its virtualization technology compared to rivals Microsoft, with Hyper-V, and Citrix, with its Xen technology.
And a discussion is what it got.
After this item posted last week, a number of readers commented on whether claims by VMware's Eric Horschman - - that ESX Server 3 beats Hyper-V and XenServer v4 - - were actually on point.
Some commenters criticized Horschman's methodology of using a server with only 4 GB of memory and virtual machines that carried a light work load with Windows Vista.
