Coding Horror: Has The Virtualization Future Arrived?

Re:Coding Horror: Has The Virtualization Future Arrived? by gordonguthrie on Monday April 27, 2009 @02:11AM (#580948)

When I worked on a large contract for a customer with 20,000 desktops and a couple of thousand servers we used to take great delight in waxing about our server virtualisation to major hardware vendors... and then drop the bomb that we had virtualised 250 instances of Windows NT...

NT was (then) 7 years out of support and is nearer 10 now. But if you have apps that run on it, they still run on it...

However trying getting an replacement network card with NT drivers these days. Virtualisation is your man...

You know "waxing" means "growing," not "talking," right?

I imagine it was a play on "wax poetic", but then this comment should be about the content of the OP's post, not one upping their spelling.

I think an adjective, like (e.g.) "poetic", got lost in the editing process. I hate it when that happens.
