Microsoft Hyper-V to VMware: We Have You Surrounded

You forgot to mention that VMW has a 10 year head start and that CSCO and INTC are huge backers of VMW. What MSFT should do is acquire EMC to control the majority stake in VMW, than spin-off/shop EMC to use the proceeds to pay for the transaction. They can probably sell EMC to CSCO, DELL, or HPQ.
