Amazon.com recently released its "Best of 2008” list, which includes the bestselling, most positively reviewed, most-wished-for and favorite gift products as determined by Amazon.com customers in 2008... and virtualization made the list!

Unfortunately for myself, Steve Beaver and Jase McCarty, the amazing VMware ESX Essentials book released in September 2008 did not make the list!  ;)  Shameless plug.  Next year guys!

However, VMware Fusion did make the list for software in the "Most-Loved Products" category, a list of products that were reviewed most positively by Amazon.com customers in 2008.

So congrats to VMware and those Apple Mac users who have taken the plunge into virtualization.
