VMware, They Were Like "Me, Too!" Oh, OK we get it. Yeah, you too.

Lotsa software vendors have a problem of announcing products and roadmaps too early. They talk up products that don't even exist yet. Or worse yet, outline a strategy that ends up changing 5 times over before the time it goes public. VMware kind of has the opposite problem. There have been a few times where knowing what they were planning on doing with a couple of products really would have cleared up confusion, and in one case, completely changed some purchasing decisions. Thascool...

So it was funny last week, when on Thursday, Parallels launched the beta of their Workstation for Mac. VMware had no equivalent product to offer in response. But one day later, a VMware employee, in his personal blog did announce that internally, VMware does have products running on Macs, it's just not public yet. And for VMware, that's actually a nice change. More please.

And on that tip, why not link to the new Clipse single, "Me, too." (rap mp3. I know how you sysadmins are. Biggest rap fans ever!)
