I wasn't going to say anything; but this is too good a "straight line" to pass up!

I've been "not bored" by Oracle since 1991, Version 6.1

That said, OVM is just like any other Oracle product

	More "features" than "Carter has pills"
	Requires "six men and a boy" to configure, manage and operate

(Extra points if you understand the "Grumpy Old Guy" references)

Hi Sayan!

To rephrase this a bit, I would say that OVM is not a boring product. You access it with trepidation and a tingling sensation each time you need to configure something. VMWare and Hyper-V, on the other hand, are boring products which do exactly what their respective manuals says they do. OVM makes your life interesting and you don't even have to pay for the excitement!
