If you missed the keynotes at the recent VMworlds you missed a sensational bit of information that marks just how far the VMware revolution has come. I have since seen a graphical summary of the research that supported Steve Herrod’s claim and want to add myself to the chorus proclaiming the incredible incredible influence VMware has acquired in the industry.

The VMworld events in both San Francisco and Copenhagen included a new discussion forum where subject matter experts spent time interacting with a small group of similarly-minded enthusiasts.

The results were collected by local staff and just recently I received those from the San Francisco VMworld’s group discussion on performance.
I asked about nine questions of the forum’s attendees and four of them generated rich discussion. There were about 25 people in attendance, which were self-selected to have both opinions and total comfort sharing them. Here are the questions, the results, and my commentary.
