Unfortunately, you grew up in an era of real products and services, but that
time has passed. Otherwise, I don't really have a clue as to what that
announcement meant, but I was greatly impressed by the last paragraph:

"Enterprises should start now to build a multiyear strategy for
virtualization," said Tom Bittman, vice president, Gartner. "Furthermore, they should
understand the virtualization offerings and strategies of their IT vendors and make
that a part of their overall IT selection process."

I do know that that's exactly what we are doing now as a company: preparing
for the virtualization of MPE and CSY.
