Please also offer Windows, with drivers for your hardware, as an add-on for those who:

  1. want to run Windows in a virtual machine
  2. want to run multiple versions of Windows
  3. changed their mind after buying noOS (because their boss is making them use application X which only runs in Windows).

The add-on version will be more expensive, of course. More profit!

Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
