I've been following a discussion on Desktop Virtualization on LinkedIn's CIO Forum with a mixture of confusion, deja vu, and real excitement. 

The CCIM Institute is become just a little more virtual. Over the past couple of weeks, we've started replacing aging, single-use servers. Rather than buy another small box for each purpose, we've purchased a couple of fast, powerful Dell boxes, installed VMWare, and turned each into a host for several virtual servers. Currently, we've put two MX, two DNS servers, a batch reporting tool server, and a backup software hosting server into the virtual space, running Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Fedora Linux.
