billstewart writes: The San Jose Mercury News reports that Microsoft will be announcing a virtualization strategy on Tuesday, including

an alliance with Citrix Systems (owners of XenSource),

acquisition of privately held Calista Technologies of San Jose, which has software that speeds up the performance of applications running in a virtualized environment, and

lower price for Windows Vista used on virtualized computers. (More at Bloomberg.)
The company confirmed its plans to deliver its Hyper-V hypervisor within six months of the launch of Windows Server 2008 (betas available now), which is expected this quarter. And of course there's hype about competing with VMware.
