Distributing software inside a VM
I found the following article very interesting: VMware Wants VMs to Be Modern Shrink Wrap for Software. It discusses the use of virtual machines as software containers. Kind of the ultimate decoupling of hardware and software. As hypervisors and virtualization become mainstream, the idea of simply plugging in another instance of MAC/OS or Windows on my underutilized, multi-core PC is very appealing.
