Kill two Windows servers with one Xserve: Mac enthusiast Tom Yager looks at the potency of virtualization on Apple's Xserve. He notes that the Mac platform won't virtualize in the traditional sense of hosting a virtual instance of itself. "That's a real pity, especially for those of us holding last rites for PowerPC servers. But there is a silver lining: Xserve is now an x86 rack server. It can't take on the distinct personalities of two OS X Server machines, but it can show Windows and Linux servers the door."
Longhorn on the mooove: With all the excitement surrounding Vista's release, surely you haven't forgotten Longhorn, the next version of Windows Server. Microsoft clearly hasn't, having just released a new build of the OS, available only to participants of the Longhorn beta program. The final OS isn't due out until the second half of 2007. In the meantime, check out some of our previous coverage of Longhorn, including Tom Yager's look at Beta 2 from earlier this year.
