So, I couldn't resist this post on Daniel Petri's web site describing how to install VMware Tools "additions" (chuckle) inside a Windows Server 2008 Core Edition guest machine. The thing that caught my attention was the caveate notes...
Catchy, huh? So, maybe you're younger than me (probably) and think all this Virtualization is "new stuff" and really "new" and "cutting edge". Take a guess at what year all this stuff was first widely blabbered about...
Yes. I've officially joined the ranks of pre-sales techno-monkeys. I passed my first twelve exams to qualify for VMware Technical Sales Professional or VTSP. I wasn't expecting the courseware content and exam questions to be so technical, given the "Sales...
I was wandering around aimlessly, again, on the Internet, again, when I ran across this from one of the RSS feeds I get. Very handy info from Julie Smith . I hope you find it useful. While wandering even more, I was helping my son review his baseball...

This blog posting by Rakeshm explains the rationale behind the decision to include VMware management within System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Very interesting. Before I read the post, I expected it would contain the usual "Where do you want...
VMware announced today that they are going to acquire Thinstall, a key competitor to Softricity and SoftGrid, which was acquired by Microsoft last year. The result of this seems obvious: Microsoft and VMware will continue to duke it out and we should...
I've been working with SoftGrid for a few weeks now, after my company sent me out to a week-long training class at Microsoft in Redmond. Very cool stuff. All the buzz this year already. "Application Virtualization". Indeed. After years of suffering through...
