upuv's Journal: Virtual What the Who's it's?

I'm an IT professional for as long as the term IT professional has existed. I work in Enterprise. I work with Telcos, Banks, Entertainment the lot.

Can some one please fill me in on where the money is in virtual / cloud computing?

18 months ago if your project didn't have something VM it didn't see the light of day. I have yet to see a project that had a cloud component.

Now I'm making stupendous amounts of money de-constructing VM anything. Take the silly little app housed in a VM of flavor XYZ and replanting it on a native OS. Oh Gee Golly they run faster and more predictably. ( Sorry I don't take any work involving .net C# or anything MS. Yes I'm a bigot )

Seriously. Is the VM hype finally over? I bloody well hope so. It's as ill founded as Bush's economic policy.
