Anon, where did I ever stated that I'm an analyst? And where did I ever stated I was objective? Really I don't care about objectivity... This is a blog, not a magazine or an e-zine or what ever. So also no need for me to mention any competitor, I don't know enough about their upcoming features or version to say anything useful. Sorry if I didn't meet your expectations... But this blog usually deals mainly about technical stuff, I'm not here to review announcements. That would probably cause a conflict considering the fact that I'm a VMware employee... for that kind of stuff visit virtualization.info he should be objective. (and I heavily doubt if you can call anyone objective in this case...) Dear mr. Anon, where did I ever stated that I’m an analyst? And where did I ever stated I was objective?

I started reading this post to get some news but found myself discounting everything you said (more than was deserved, I'm sure) because of the RA-RA tone of the whole thing. It came off as marketing spin instead of objective analysis. "No more need for any other way of clustering, zero data loss, no more down time!" Let's don't get carried away. A statement like this would be more accurate and would increase your perceived objectivity: "VMWare is now even more compelling and reduces the risk of data loss and/or downtime even further." You could mention a competitor, even if it's only set up a straw man that you summarily pummel into oblivion.
