Trevor, I must say I haven't genuinely laughed at an article on The Register this hard in a long time.
Not because of the actual subject matter or content, mind, which like usual with your articles I learned a bit about virtualization, as I've only ever really used virtualization on a very small scale with VirtualBox to test out operating systems with, but because of some of the expressions you used, like "a lobotomized monkey wigging out on bad crack" or the openstack/pee in jars thing.
If they still had voting on articles you'd be getting a 10 for being funny. Keep it up Sir.
