Also note that Virtual Bridges supports RHEL as well. Outside Canonical and Virtual Bridges exec pool... does anyone know how big an impact that product bundle is actually having? I would expect Red Hat to give at least ballpark numbers on its virtualization product in its quarterly financial calls after its been released next year.

If only 5 percent of corporate desktops get virtualized Red Hat (and partners like me) are looking at huge incremental opportunities. We're in RTP North Carolina and we work with many of the local colleges right in Red Hat's back yard. They will be first movers with desktop virtualization and we plan to assist. My only regret is we didn't get into Red Hat's closed beta but we look forward to GA. Absolutely on the mark with this one.
