Here is a great article on the linuxworld.com website.

Apparently VMware has been pretty vocal about the Xensource - Microsoft Partnership. In the article they accuse the deal of lop-sided in favor of the Windows Operating System. They also accuse Xensource of betraying their open source roots.

A quick look at the Xensource websites shows a pretty impressive list of investors that are highly interested in making a profit and seeing a return on their investment. So what’s a company to do? Partner with the 500 lb gorilla that is Microsoft?

I have to wonder, given Microsoft’s long standing opposition to the open-source movement, how Xensource will be able to keep Microsoft happy and at the same time stay true to their “values“.
