VMWare Client Hypervisor?

[mikelane]

I just watched this keynote with Intel and Citrix and wondered if VMWare was developing anything similar?

Video shows (10mb?) client hypervisor running two VMs at the same time on a laptop with HD video and a game running in one VM and a business VM in the other. There also appears to be some crossover of apps between the VMs too - running apps securely from one VM in the other.

Personally I hae been looking forward to a client hypervisor for a while now ...

Thanks very much for that Dave! :smileygrin:

I'm looking forward to something like this as well. The Citrix client (XenClient) will be free and hopefully we'll see the same from VMware. And the ability to run ESX(i) VMs.

I agree, reading around a little I hope that this is not just treated as something just for VNWare View. It will be interesting to see ...

From the conversation that I have had with people in VMware about there thought process regarding this, VMware view is but a small part of it.
