Comments on: VMware Slaps Enterprise and Cisco In Face, Opens Door For Competitors http://vinternals.com/2009/04/vmware-slaps-enterprise-and-cisco-in-face-opens-door-for-competitors/ The Art and Science of Virtual Infrastructure Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:46:02 -0800 hourly 1 By: Kyle Weir http://vinternals.com/2009/04/vmware-slaps-enterprise-and-cisco-in-face-opens-door-for-competitors/comment-page-1/#comment-594 Kyle Weir Sun, 24 May 2009 02:07:08 +0000 http://vinternals.com/?p=232#comment-594 I'd just like to chime in on the Host profiles. First of all yes, it is handy to be able to apply a bunch of settings onto a dozen servers or so. But well I'm a powershell guy, and I can do pretty much and of the settings in my sleep to any/all of the servers I want to. But what I do appreciate is what brugh came up with, his EDA appliance lets me deploy my hosts with all of the settings I want. And heck it's nice to do a clean install every so often with the # of patches vmware puts out. I’d just like to chime in on the Host profiles.

What was vulgar about this post? Can you definie "curse words" for us? I don't get it. Should he replace an "F-bomb" with "frickin" instead? Is that acceptable? How exactly is that word any different? Slang is slang. Nothing was vulgar about this post. You might be able to argue the professional aspect of the article, but I'd disagree with that. His points were based on his professional opinion and this is his personal web site. Let him be... It is nice to see someone not take things so seriously, yet do an excellent job, I think.

And you're not wrong about the procurement smarts, although I'm not complaining about being kept at arms length from that side of deals :) Thanks Thomas, much more eloquently put than I could have done :-) .

Cursing indicates strong feelings and strong feelings are the results of inappropriate dealings in regards to relationships. Stu may be pissed because he has strongly supported VMWare as a strategic platform in his company and may have helped VMWare sign a strategic sale. In return, the company is using "plausible deniability" by separating soft commits by its salespeople from roadmap knowledge in the Product Management & Executive ranks. This is a game that is eating itself and is the reason why other avenues such as Open Source flourishes. Now this being said, if Stu or his company really is signing the size and type of deals he says they're signing, then he should get access to any higher-order feature layers included for no additional cost *in writing*. If you're a multi-million dollar buyer, you can do it. You just need a smart procurement department. The idea that cursing lowers the value of discourse is absurd.
