Microsoft changed its mind to sell Windows Vista
After many years spent and billions of dollars invested in the development of its new operating system Vista, Microsoft has announced a blockade for customers who want to buy its new product.
Microsoft representatives say the company's reluctance to sell new software is due to security concerns.
The stumbling block has become technology, known as virtualization (virtualization). Essentially, it allows one computer to simulate multiple machines, even with different operating systems. This is done by running multiple applications simultaneously, but in different areas of the computer.
Now that Apple Inc Macintosh computers use Intel processors, virtualization technology allows Mac users to easily switch between Mac OS X and Windows.

Less expensive versions of Vista can actually work on systems that use virtualization. However, Microsoft wants to limit its use of the system due to security holes generated by technology, says Scott Woodgate, director of the Vista development team.
Apple spokeswoman Lynn Fox (Lynn Fox) also confirms this statement, saying that Mac users who want to run Windows in virtualization programs should ask the vendors of this technology how safe it is.
Scott Woodgate, director of the Vista development team, considers justifying the ban on the use of virtualization technology by all versions of Vista. Of course, companies with powerful technical support could use it, while home users should be very careful, he said.
However, despite all the battles, many experts doubt that Microsoft is driven only by concerns about the safety of its customers, and not by any other business considerations that it does not want to explain.
