Here is the way I look at it. Let's say I sign up for some compute time with AWS and I need to run my apps on Windows. AWS will give me a VM guest running Windows. The real question is, what hypervisor is providing that guest? Hyper-V, VMware, kvm, xen? This what VSI needs to provide...the ability to run in as many guest environments as is reasonable so you can run your VMS applications in a standard cloud provider.
