2015’s top five cloud developments and what they mean for 2016
More telling than OpenStack’s continued rise is how everyone is adopting open-source operating systems and technologies into the cloud. Nothing demonstrates that more than Microsoft — Microsoft of all companies! — adopting Linux.

Since I know OpenVZ very well, shafire asked me to lend a hand with testing.
