Submission + - New VMware doesn't need OS, avoids Linux issue? (vmware.com)
NotAVMwareEmployee writes: VMware has announced on their website a new ESX product, known as ESX Server 3i, which does not require a general purpose OS to run, load, or manage the hypervisor, but has a hypervisor that loads and runs right down on the hardware, with a remote command line interface. Could this be a response to the questions raised about ESX's vmkernel being a derivative work of the Linux kernel?
