Apple is gaining ground on the desktop but is invisible on the server side (despite having a nice product - Xserve). It's true Windows achieved server dominance through it's desktop power, but I don't think that's what keeping them there now. In any case, I'm not going to write a kvm GUI. It doesn't match my skills, interest, or my employer's interest. If you wish to see a kvm GUI you have to write one yourself or convince someone to write it (perhaps convince Red Hat to fund such an effort beyond virt-manager). -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
