Latest rumours from the market as VMware is looking into possibility to acquire redhat in the near future. Personally I do see as a major move and seems to be very positive on this. As vmware had been part of the Linux foundation, this move will able to provide extra channel and products to reach thier customers. If we look at the current kernel which use on the ESX 3.0, 3.5 and you can easily recognize some of the similiarity with readhat linux.
As an good example from Novell which promoting the Xen virtualization bundle with thier SUSE Linux Enterprise. This will provide the need of Operating system as well as the hypervisor virtualization technology. Hopefully we will see the action really in place as VMware acquire Redhat and will have more products on board in the futures. The key point of VMware are still the expensive licensing module which could potential stop the potential buyers always.
