Why not traditional Windows?

Virtual environments and licensingWhat Virtualization Demands: Licensing FlexibilityAbility to run Windows Client OS on serversUnrestricted movement of VMs across hardware platformsAdded Value: Software AssuranceFlexibilityValueUpgrade / Downgrade rights for OSAccess to Enterprise editions of OSReassignment rights after 90 days.Access to technology such as MDOP and WinFLPSupport and training from MicrosoftBasic Value: OEM LicensePre-installed OSBound to hardwareNo reassignment rights
