But one thing was interesting during the AS announcement at WWDC. Federighi stressed how good a hypervisor macOS is. That was probably first of all a comment about virtualization on the new Macs, but could also allow to install any operation system as guest on a cloud server. Many cloud services are running inside VMs.

- _ph_ 6y agoYes, that was the context of the statement. But it also would give an answer how customers would use an AS Xserve.
