Well, all events take a while to get cranked up to top notch speed – and VMworld is no exception. It was quite a long keynote opening (1.5hrs). But things became more interesting with industry panel on the impact of virtualisation. So along side all the gunho pro-virtualisation people – there was some interesting Professor from Standford University to remind us that industry back-slapping is not the way forward. Without bashing Microsoft directly – the problem remains with or without virtual machines the guest OS we run and the applications we support within them – aren’t written very well.

You can sense the humour and cheering building as the audience got behind the Professor – a welcome devils-advocate amongst the dancing monkeys…
