Opinion: VMware's virtual data center OS pitch not credible
Don't expect this observer to believe VMware's uber-data center promise when the company won't even allow its software to manage competitive Hyper-V machines.

New Microsoft ads released: Not funny, not effective
In one of the new Microsoft ads running today, (the other Suits ad is here) a smart engineer type says "roger" and then an everyday guy who looks like he might be a farmer says, hey - my name is Roger. It's corny enough to make me want to switch to a Mac by sheer protest and watch the Seinfeld ads again to reminisce about the good old days.
