• Note that Sonos has a free app in the iTunes store so you can control their whole system via your iPhone/Touch. It's better than the Sonos stock controller usability-wise (e.g., touch-screen, has keyboard for searching catalogs, etc.), so not having to buy the Sonos controller brings the price-of-entry down quite a bit.
  
  I don't know if I'd call the Linksys system more stylish than Sonos, as this reviewer does. The only thing you shoud notice about an audio system is the music coming out of it, whereas the Linksys "Conductor" component (above, on left) looks like some sort of techno shrine.
  
  The iPod dock is nice - funny that Sonos hasn't added that yet, as it would fill the "Fairplay" hole it has now. (Of course docking your iPod would mean losing its remote-control capability.) Rhapsody works flawlessly on the Sonos, though, so it's been a while since I've missed my iPod at home.
  
  It's good that Sonos has some competition now. The Linksys system is a bit cheaper, depending on what configuration you order. In reply to: "Linksys offers full wireless alternative to Sonos"

• What is virtualization?
  This article would be much more meaningful if it explained what virtualization is and why it is a "silver bullet."
