Off to VMWorld

Heading out in the morning to VMworld 2008. This is the third time I've attended this conference. I'll be focused on what's new and exciting about x86 Virtualization. In particular I have an unpopular view of VDI and all hosted desktop virtualization. I think it's hype! I lived the euphoria of Thin Computing as a Citrix consultant many years ago. It didn't take off then. Perhaps having one's own VM will change everything.

I predict the following to be big hitters this year:
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
Virtual Datacenter (site recovery, lifecycle manager, etc)
Competition. I predict that there will be much bashing of competing vendors Virtualization technologies.
