See ya later Mariz, don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out and have fun with your persistent Microsoft-esque attitude and not caring about *products* like VMware Fusion because its “small fry” and not important enough to you. Oh and while you’re on the way out the door, at least you didn’t get stuck in Hotel California (EMC certainly made sure you could check out)! Ha!

I agree Tim. They seemed to be doing the right thing by not burying their heads in the sands and just focusing on the hypervisor and ignoring application development and cloud.

Not really sure how this is taking the eye off the ball, As you say the Hypervisor is now a commodity and VMware have are way ahead of the curve in terms of easy-to-use private cloud software (vCloud is the answer to scaled out Enterprise infrastructure surely?). And they are heavily pushing vCenter Operations this year which is their monitoring platform. Perhaps they have spread themselves a little thinly over the last couple of years and could do with focusing on a smaller subset of these Enterprise Apps but I definitely think they are moving in the right direction with their platform of products and architecting for the ‘Cloud Era’

I don’t find myself at a lost for words pretty often but this is as major as it gets. That’s punishing for pursuing a course that not many criticized him for publicly (well maybe me a couple of times). But I didn’t see that coming.
