Good keeping an eye on the forest and not getting lost in the trees. The market is so irrational in its response to Apple's earnings that it almost has to be manipulation or mass insanity. Best quarter ever and projected future growth and the stock goes through the floor. I am thinking Apple should consider eliminating the guidance. Why bother when those who receive are incompetent to use it properly. You give a good high level view of where the various products are headed and what they can expect in competition. This analysis points to only more growth and possibly a faster rate of growth as the Microsoft decline gains momentum. Keep up the great work. Excellent article, Daniel.

Typically, an 8 processor Xeon server will be partitioned into 7 servers, each performing a different task (AD, Mail, DB, Web et. al.). This is the primary use of server virtualization. VMWare produces a server virtualization product that supplants a host operating system and provides multiple virtual sessions using processor affinity for each virtual server. This allows a business to provide shared resources with a minimum of hardware platforms. Server virtualization is primarily used to leverage hardware for multiple server platforms.
