I think it was a demo, but I suspect that this will be the formal way that Windows and perhaps other environments will be supported on SGI iron going forward. SUSE Linux for native stuff and KVM for virtual stuff.

I probably missed the news when this was announced, but it’s exciting nevertheless.

The future for OpenStack admins is definitely getting brighter.
