It says Thorium Core is a commercialization. But ReactOS is open source. So is the cloud services part going to be proprietary? (Thus foiling my idea of a free Citrix replacement.)
- e12e 13y agoIt was my understanding that the licensing for windows on "cloud" workloads was actually pretty cheap and straightforward after the introduction of hyper-v -- isn't one licence per cpu socket -- run as many copies/vms as you want? Now for SQL server things can get more expensive... Not to mention the difference in cost of having any licensing vs having no licensing.
- MichaelGG 13y agoStandard gives you two licensed virtual Windows OSes per two-sockets. Datacenter provides unlimited. SQL Server's pricing is starting to follow Oracle, despite mocking Oracle's model before. SQL Server has different prices for different types of CPUs.
- e12e 13y agoAh, yes. I was thinking of Datacenter licensing.
