Microsoft has relaxed its licensing restrictions on datacentre software to allow for the growing use of virtualisation. Significantly, Microsoft has chosen to drop its previous 90-day reassignment rule, allowing server software to be moved around a server farm as often as necessary. The change is especially significant for customers running virtualised environments.

An embarrassing blunder has forced VMware to issue a second version of ESX 3.5 Update 2 and ESXi 3.5 Update 2 to fix a bug that caused licences to incorrectly expire. The problem arose because a time limitation from a beta version of the virtualisation software was incorrectly left in the code that was shipped.

After reading good things about Sun’s VirtualBox, I decided to download
version 1.6.2 two weeks ago to run Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual machine
within Windows Vista. While it worked perfectly at first, the
installation of the virtual tools in Windows caused a complete system
crash, which I could only fix by doing a System Restore. What happened,
and now that VirtualBox has just had a maintenance upgrade to 1.6.4,
will I try it again?
