[LUAU] Virtual Machine for Free (VMware-like)

[ronal at aloha.com]

Need to run RHEL4 or SUSE Sever 9.0 on your Windows computer. Microsoft
just made it a free download. 

Much can be speculated, but I will leave that for another forum.

While most of the buzz at this week's LinuxWorld in Boston is intended to
revolve around the open-source operating system, Microsoft on Monday
decided to use a backdrop of the semi-annual Linux confab to make some
waves of its own.

The company has announced that it would support those customers who decide
to run Linux under Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2. Installations of Red
Hat and SUSE Linux have been made simpler through software created by the
Redmond company. Additionally, Microsoft would provide technical support
for those who decide to run both through virtualization.
