The next Linux kernel will include VMI support

An item on eWeek reports that the next stable Linux kernel release will support VMI, a technology developed by VMware, the well-known maker of the product of the same name. VMI stands for Virtual Machine Interface and is intended to let other operating environments run virtually under Linux. A similar idea is implemented in SELinux through a related technology called the Linux Security Module framework. Early reports predicted huge success for VMI among hosting companies. We will see whether real-world use lives up to those optimistic expectations.
