The Virtual Word

Your distant-future lookout here...

To those of us that still don't understand just how far under the radar virtualzation is today, even though we all know it's a tidal wave in the making, I present the following remarkable and hilarious evidence. In every virtualization blog, including VMware's blogs, including THIS ONE, including all of ZDNet's blogs, etc., etc., the feedback boxes, the posting boxes, the anything-you-like boxes all have automatic spell checkers that red-line our typing errors.

In every single one of these venues (no exceptions), the word virtualization is not considered a real word and is red-lined -- everywhere.

But this is a badge of honor! Virtualization has now achieved its own virtual status.

It is a Virtual Word.
