VMware will save the polar bears
We can prove it, says virtual outfit

VIRTUALISATION leader VMware has opened a Web site which provides software which calculates how much you will save on your datacentre if you go for its products.
The VMware Cost-Per-Application Calculator takes into account the relative cost of energy and land price to deliver a dollar figure that signifies the savings in both that Vmware and virtualisation can deliver.
There is also a ratio of the amount of ice sheet you will save and the number of polar bear cubs that will not die if you use its software. (OK, we made that last bit up). µ

I clicked solely because of the polar bears! :(
Thanks to precious Knut I have become an avid bear fan. They are highly intelligent and emotionally complex and abused all over the world, not to mention misunderstood. This article is atrociouis - using precious polar bears to get attention is heinous.
virtualiZation . Sorry to nitpick but I have been working with the term a lot recently for an ad campaign for a large network hardware manufacturer and the misspelling just stuck out to me.
Do polar bears make good pets? I want one!
Not really, FYI. Even the Vole spells it as "virtualisation" ( http://www.microsoft.com/uk/licensing/lessthan250/learn/virtualisation.mspx ). Probably you are just on the corrupted-english-speaking side of the pond.

Whot the ell?
Hast thee ever beenst inside ein roomen vit eina polar bear-hundt?
They are nothing that needs to be saved
and do not care IN THE SLIGHTEST that you own an 'apple' computer(...whatever those are...) nor would it have one septillionth of the empathy that you feel for it.
It would, in fact, eat you.
It would suck the marrow out of your i-bones.
