Re: VMWare's Most Important Cloud Research? It Might Not Be Technology

Ken/James... good points.

That question of what will VMware look like in 5 years is key. With being acquired, founders leaving and competition nipping at there heels, will VMware stay as they are? Will the hypervisor remain their core business? I guess time will tell.

Re: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Apple Store...

Almost 3 years since I owned a Mac. That's forever in technology years.

I agree whole heartedly about the opportunity for companies to build "everyguy/gal" friendly interfaces to cloud capacity allocation and management. I once thought building such a thing myself, but I was concerned about standards, etc., and getting locked into supporting one vendor. I was an idiot, of course, in the sense that the people doing this today for EC2 look like they've found a growing and enthusiastic market.

LOL... liked the tale.

The cloud is ldefinitey the home of personal servers/applications in the future. Once people like you mention (and of course www.rightscale.com ) make it that bit easier for "Joe Public" to use it'll be interesting to see how it develops.

I have taken to building test servers on EC2, as it is cheap, easy, fast and when I am done with it... it just goes "Poof!" and is gone. :-)

Enjoy the Mac, it's been how long now?

You can see here how the system waits until you both agree the result before it affects the ranking points.
