  5. Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.

  6. EFI is this other Intel brain-damage (the first one being ACPI).

  7. Ok, I admit it. I was just a front-man for the real fathers of Linux, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.

  8. I don't doubt at all that virtualization is useful in some areas. What I doubt rather strongly is that it will ever have the kind of impact that the people involved in virtualization want it to have.
