Microsoft's Muglia on Virtualization: "It Is Still Early Days of Virtualization"
'It is still early for this important technology,' wrote Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business, in an executive memo to Microsoft customers yesterday. 'Ultimately,' he added, 'virtualization will play an important role in improving business agility by making IT systems more flexible and more responsive to changing business needs.'

The related Executive Mail today morning is written from a quite abstract server point-of-view. There might be two reasons for this:

1. Bob Muglia IS responsible for Server and Tools. 2. Details on how the new strategy could affect the Office and Business Solutions divisions are either not elaborated yet or shall not be shouted from the rooftops.
