Similar - 1 GB VM, allocated a single core, MySQL backend. Been running for years (although moved from a dedicated machine to a VM a bit over a year ago), solid as a rock. Confluence is running on the same VM. One of the bits of infrastruct

What is Microsoft's track record for spinning off companies? The Photoshop/CS part of Adobe is somewhat profitable, correct? Would MS let it go (even for a bucket of cash)?

Maybe various comments indicating how they are unhappy they've missed the mobile bus, including seemingly oddball suggestions like a tool to "port" iOS apps to x86: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/69637/20101007/intel-porting...
