A valid point about VMware leadership and sorry that the article length failed to meet your expectations. :-;

I think hypervisors are going through a sea change, where VMware has been very successful in the aftermarket caused by Windows server sprawl and has established a leadership in units shipped, that is not the whole story. Microsoft and Oracle have content, – applications. VMware does not have that advantage and will need to work hard to grab the small and medium ISVs to ensure future success.

The market demands "Open" solutions, and they must be visibly independent. Surely the VMware advantage will win through.. Basic technology is easy to copy, but performance and compatibility take YEARS to build, and therefore VMware is guaranteed years of leadership.
