  Microsoft, VMware Agree: They Better Cooperate
Time: 05:55 EST/10:55 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

VMware and Microsoft both said they're working behind the scenes to make it easier for virtualization users to migrate across their differing virtualization environments and run each other's virtualized files.

But so far, it's only virtual kumbaya. Neither one is saying how they're going to do it.

XenSource, the company sponsoring the open-source Xen hypervisor, is a Microsoft partner and said it, too, is a party to the out-of-the-limelight talks and will heed any agreed-upon standards or translation methods. No single, specific standard, such as a shared virtual file format, is under discussion, however.

"Initiatives are underway. They're just not ready for disclosure," said Patrick Lin, VMware's senior director of product management, at the end of a panel sponsored by chipmaker AMD at the Westin San Francisco.
