First it was Citrix, Now its VMware - the only common ground is Intel

Last month we reported on the breaking news that Citrix were working on a on exclusive project with Intel for Offline VDI called "Project Independence", the full article can be found here.

Well not to be outdone VMware at VMworld Europe have announced a similar project with Intel also to deliver their bare-metal client Hypervisor, codenamed CVP (Client Virtualisation Platform). Strangely the technology features and benefits are nearly identical to that of Project Independence.

To date AMD has been very quiet, and I wonder if something is on the cards here also, surely it would make perfect sense to penetrate as much of the market as possible?
