In spite of its high compatibility that has allowed it to be initially deployed with limited disruptions, I will argue that virtualization will change commonly held views on the relationship between software and hardware and has the potential of a massive disruption in the computing industry. I will discuss these trends in the context of software distribution models, operating systems, and cloud computing. More information...
