One year after Microsoft's Vista operating system came to market, the company announced a change to its end-user licensing agreement, now allowing users to run the Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions in a virtual environment. The move is good news for consumers, who can run the OS on any machine, but it's even better news for IT administrators, many of whom have been reluctant to switch to the Vista OS because there was no simple -- and cheap -- way to test hardware, software and network connections without sacrificing a real machine.

Hopefully this will be a good thing for Linux. Maybe, just maybe, it will make virtualization better off. Or maybe I'm just an optimist.
