VMware is set to find itself a little lighter in the wallet after losing a nearly quarter-billion dollar patent-infringement case.

A jury in a US federal district court in eastern Delaware on Friday found in favor of Densify, and against the Dell-owned IT giant, in legal battle over basic concepts of virtualization. In doing so, the panel of peers awarded damages of $235,724,765 (£180,300,000, ish).
