The Hypervisor predictions are becoming reality pretty soon with MS and Novell having partnered on the Hyper V and provding SUSE Linux as the first enligtened guest operating system on this platform.
Hyper V now comes with the MS Windows Server 2008 as an additional option.
However what will be more interesting is to watch the consolidation attempts of data centers in this period of economic flux. My prediction is that even with the advent of Hyper V and the existing VMWare solutions available etc. the CIOs and Data Center managers are going to look closely at cloud computing to go green and economically lean at the same time.
More applications are going to get written to be ready for cloud computing than ever before in 2009. Also in 2009, a lot of server consolidation is naturally going to happen using VMs however the future truly is the cloud. The natural problems these initiatives bring are the hares versus the turtles. The turtles will closely watch the hares and see where the pitfalls lie in this new embrace of virtualization.
One thing is certain, the economic necessities of the times are going to favor those who start embracing the concepts of a virtual world earlier than later.
