Will Microsoft buy the new Citrix?
eWeek | at | by Mike
Could Citrix Systems' purchase of XenSource for $500 million be a prelude to Microsoft's acquisition of Citrix?
"Citrix built a $1 billion-plus business on the back of its access to Microsoft source code. XenSource's exclusive access to Microsoft's forthcoming 'Viridian' hypervisor code is a key driver for this deal," he told eWEEK Aug. 15. "For Citrix, Viridian becomes the base operating system component for its next business, just as Windows Terminal Server has been for Presentation Server."
