Microsoft and VMware have been engaged in a snippy back-and-forth over virtualization for the past couple of years, and a new Microsoft-Citrix joint promotion is further inflaming partisan passions on the issue.
Last week, Microsoft and Citrix unveiled their "Rescue for VMware VDI" promotion, which lets customers trade in their VMware View software licenses for the same number of Microsoft VDI Standard Suite subscription and Citrix XenDesktop VDI Edition annual licenses, free of charge. The promotion, which runs through the end of the year, is open to Microsoft customers with Core Cal or E-Cal with Software Assurance.
