Actually, I want to clarify a couple of things. First, there are two bare metal client hypervisors that have been shipping for well over a year. One is from my company, Neocleus, and we shipped our first generation in late 2008. This was fairly stripped down and was designed to run a secure web browser outside of the OS.

We've since released 3 generations of the client hypervisor in subsequent solutions. The latest generation also has a documented API (we call it a VPI) that allows developers to easily create VM-enabled apps that will exploit this new model of running multiple OS instances in the bare metal of a desktop or laptop.

For clarification, MokaFive is a Type 2 hypervisor. It's a very good product but is not designed to address many of the use-cases that customers are seeking to solve with a Type 1 (bare metal) solution such as NeoSphere.

Check out our website for demonstrations of the technology. Here's a link to the Bring Your Own PC demo:

Thanks Tom. I obviously missed NxTop over the last few years. I still need to check them out. Interesting how they seem to be below my radar …

Rich, VirtualComputer were first to market in 2k8 with NxTop and this is a GA product that has just entered v2.0 Citrix's XenClient is still RC, futher NxTop has a very good management suite around wrapped around it now. That was the main reason they did not Win at VMworld last year.
