Microsoft (Quote, Chart) plans to take a hard-charge at the burgeoning market for computer virtualization, including offering greater Linux compatibility, its chief executive said today.

Amid jokes about cooperating with rivals such as Sun Microsystems (Quote, Chart), Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the company would make serious investments in, and open up, its Virtual Server 2005 product to run on non-Windows machines.

This includes Linux, he said during his keynote address Wednesday at the Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas. To prove the point, Microsoft official Bill Anderson demonstrated how Red Hat Linux could run on Virtual Server 2005.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

Intesting. I know I'd like a better virtual snap-in for development purposes.
