Microsoft does have a virtualization product, but I'm pretty sure they'll sell you a search engine too. It's pretty evident that 10 years from now, virtualization will be as standard in mainstream operating systems as cooperative multitasking. But that's VMWare's problem, not MSFT's.

What VMware sells is the tools for managing large estates of virtual infrastructure. That's a problem that isn't solved just by having a virtualization layer in your OS.
