Comments on: With Virtualization, does hardware simply no longer matter? http://www.techiteasy.org/2009/07/08/with-virtualization-does-hardware-simply-no-longer-matter/ A Technology and Business Weblog provided to You by a Global Group of Friends.

The tech world has decided to create a notion ans its assorted gadgets so that everybody can talk to everybody. they had probably no other choice than seamless-ness (?) with such a plethora of profiles to satisfy. "irrelevant" as you said, is a very good answer to the question : what does intelligence (OS) need in order to run ? (HW) I am really troubled though on who does this create profit margins for. "anything on anything" doesn't guarantee good quality and satisfaction and sometimes you'd pay more for an all-in-one-no-worries model. good margins do exist if virtualization will manage to create a culture of solid end-to-end management instead of a non-management one. so maybe everybody in the chain (HW, OS, Services) has good margins that come from the omni-play potential because everybody has intelligence on their level (yes even HW) if they get to manage it somehow, they have their cow. Since you mentioned IBM, they are good juicy history, to observe how they got out of their commoditization circle to become a BIG services provider.
