I know the title is a bit weird, but it sounds better tan the boring “Microsoft Virtualization Roadmap”.  Volker has pointed to a great post from Mike Neil (Thanks Volker!).   Mike is the General Manager Virtualization Strategy at Microsoft and  who better to tell us how the Microsoft Virtualization jigsaw fits together.

You can read all about it in Mike’s post “Where we’re headed with virtualization” and a snippet is below:

Does this mean everything will be virtualized in 5 years? Not likely due to continuing innovation at the hardware and software level, and the fact that no solution applies to everyone. That said, virtualization will become the default setting in the operating system – whether that’s Windows or other OSes in the market.
