    Yeah,  yeah,  yeah  -- that's just what I mean.

    I've got no problem with the technology of server virtualization,  
but many organizations are looking for server virtualization as an 
alternative to doing things systematically rather than as a tool that 
furthers that goal.
   
    That said,  I've seen that most organizations are happy to do things 
the right way once people start to see the benefits.  It can take years 
to turn things around,  however,  and not everybody has the time.
