Default VMware joins Linux Foundation

Quote:
Virtualization giant VMware has joined the Linux Foundation, lining up alongside existing members like Adobe, Google and IBM, the organization announced Wednesday.

Quote:
Those moves as well as VMware's move to join the Linux Foundation mean good news for end-users on one level, as they point to a general rise in openness and collaboration among virtualization vendors even as the competition tightens around higher-end tools, according to one industry observer.

What do you guys think about this? Do you think it will push linux more mainstream? What do you think about the new certification and classes?

I think it is a gusty move considering they don't have any open source software out. Maybe they will do kind of what virtualbox did when they were purchased by Sun, completely Open Source.

Last year they open-sourced a number of tools and they recently said they would offer a small-footprint version of its ESX virtualisation software. And a month ago they removed co-founder and CEO Diane Greene. So i think we will be seeing some big changes.
