Microsoft's acquisition of desktop virtualization management software developer Kidaro shows how serious it is about owning desktop virtualization before it mushrooms.
It now has Calista Technologies, for presenting graphics over virtual connections, and it acquired the biggest DTV player Softricity in 2006. It then said that the only way to get desktop virtualization was to buy its Software Assurance program. It looks like Kidaro, too, will be part of SA. So the question is -- does Microsoft want to be a leader in desktop virtualization? Or is Microsoft trying to squash the technology by bundling it in with SA, a program that has met with luke warm reception by the enterprise.
