Another rare category in which it's Microsoft facing a real or quasi-monopolist...
VMware, an affiliate of data storage firm EMC Corp, holds more than 70 percent of the virtualization market and its sales have doubled year-on-year for the past several quarters.
Microsoft's main weapon against VMware is expected to be a piece of software, code-named Viridian, that will be included as a feature of its next generation of Windows Server software. Viridian will act as a "hypervisor" or extra layer that sits between the hardware and the operating system.
