    Hi,

    I know that SUN at the moment is running some time of hardware virtualization on their SPARC systems, but its not clear to me from what you mentioned here and what mentioned on sites like http://www.virtualizationteam.com what is the difference between what they have now as a Hardware virtualization and what VMware Have. What the difference between their current Hardware virtualizaiton and IBM LPARS? and what is the different between what they have and their new offering? if you can comment on that it will be really appreciate it.

    Thanks.
