Unless you are just being pedantic about it, the main thing to consider is whether or not you could move your application elsewhere easily if you had to live without the unique proprietary features of any platform. And you can, if you pay attention to how things work. In fact there is some standardization being done in the virtual containers, and I'd assume VMware is a leader in that. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
