We can say a lot about Microsoft
But we can’t say that they don’t have any humor:
This is what MS is handing out at VMworld….
VMworld Day 1 Keynote
I wanted to do a live blog on the Keynote but my streaming audio collapsed so many times that I can’t write a decent article… but luckily Scott was in the room and he managed to publish an article a few minutes after the keynote ended. So read it here. Great stuff,
vStorage
Chad just wrote an amazing article about what vStorage actually is. Besure to read this one!
vStorage has been something that VMware and EMC have been working together on for a long time, in fact, before it was called vStorage (which was recent) – it used to be called VMAS a name only engineers would like. In fact, we’ve been working on this from almost right after the original acquisition before the program even existed formally.
