If you already saw my 2005 last day’s post you know that virtualization.info is a witness of virtualization huge grow we are seeing in these last few years.
But even covering all available news about Egenera, IBM, Leostream, Microsoft, Parallels, PlateSpin, SWsoft, Sun, Virtual Iron, vizioncore, VMware, Xen and all others players of this exciting market, virtualization.info is not yet the biggest observer of how it is changing.
The biggest one is obviously the most used search engine of these last years: Google.

Looking at them together shows even more interesting details:
Note that I preferred focus bottom tabs on Languages, cause I find this information absolutely new and interesting, spreading light, maybe, on totally unsuspectable markets.
I would like to also add Microsoft, but there is no way to include them reducing focus just on virtualization (if I specify a keyword like Virtual Server 2005, I have to use same criteria even with VMware, which would provide unreliable results).
