Virtualisation also reduce the rack space required for servers and the cooling cost associated with it. Thereby contributing towards the minimizing the global warming. Totally agreed with you.

"can drive utilisation up from only 15% into the 90%+ mark" -- heck, I can do that with a poorly designed program. I've had IE do that by itself when bringing up a badly-designed website. It could be worded better: "VMWare allows the system to utilize more of the idle processor power, getting gains of 500%". CPU utilization vs system utilization? Heh.

Great post on VMs. Our company would have several times the number of servers without them, not to mention wasted processing power. Any other way just isn't elegant, or green.
