Let me ask you this question, how does Ubuntu make money giving Ubuntu Linux away? How does PostgreSQL make money giving postgreSQL away. Yes, they sell support contracts just like XenSource does, which I highly support the model. What I don't think is right is when Xen Source releases "Express editions" with capabilities castrated. Last I checked, 4GB of memory limit, and 4 VM limit. (as a developer, sometimes I need close to 8-10VMs running all at once, so I use VMware now) Do you see PostgreSQL do that? do you see Ubuntu do that? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
