That goes way beyond my idea, which would make sense, since the Skytap target market is a lot larger and more profitable than what I was thinking of. Kudos to them. I'd like to hear more about how they got started - are there any articles or interviews you can recommend?

Regarding the founders: Dave Richardson went back to school to finish his Ph.D. Hank Levy is now the Chair of the Computer Science department at U of Washington. Brian Bershad is now the Site Director for Google in Seattle.
