VMware wins over Microsoft on Redmond's 2006 Readers' Choice Awards

May 2, 2006

Redmond Magazine published the top five products chosen by its readers for several IT market segments.

In the Network and System Management one VMware won 2 awards:

for Best Virtual Server Product with VMware GSX Server, beating Virtual Server 2005
for Best Virtual PC Product with VMware Workstation, beating Microsoft Virtual PC

Very interesting but next time I would prefer more precise details since both GSX Server and Virtual PC have no release version numbering.
