Red Hat Releases Windows Virtualization Code 183
dan_johns writes "Only one month after Microsoft released Linux code to improve the performance of Linux guests on Windows, Red Hat has done the reverse. Red Hat has quietly released a set of drivers to improve the performance of Windows guests hosted on Linux's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. The netkvm driver is a network driver and viostor is a Storport driver to improve the performance of high-end storage. This release includes paravirtual block drivers for Windows. Linux and Windows — virtually coming together at last."

And that horribly beautiful desktop of mine [radiantempire.com]*... I mean how can I live with that? I should shoot myself right now, in front of an Apple shrine.

Now you can run Windows in a VM when people come over to avoid the shame of admitting you run Gentoo
What shame? Absolutely nothing can establish your Alpha Geek status faster than saying "Umm, I don't have a graphical desktop right now, it's still compiling", and firing up lynx to check your email.

Sure, samba would be great for a universal file system if USB drives had Ethernet ports.
