| Being afraid of losing money is one thing... but they have not thought in these 10 years that well, maybe some VMware customers are usually running some format of Windows in their virtualized environment, in which that 'some' consists of the vast majority. Or then someone having VirtualCenter, and 20 ESX servers and Virtual Desktop Manager to run 30 x Windows 2003 and to have 200 Windows XP machines is not enough? I doubt MS would get more for the licenses if the same customers were using 30 physical servers with Windows 2003 and 200 OEM copies of XP. Having one thing run per physical server would be just enourmous waste of resources (including money, space, electricity...) Maybe it's just thinking outside the MS box that they are still scared of?
