From the editors virtual desk
Hi everyone and welcome to this week's newsletter. A lot has been going on in VMware land this past week. With all of the many announcements now out from VMworld Europe we can look forward to many new solutions from VMware to learn about.
For those that have been following my relocation to San Francisco this week was a big week for me as I moved in to my permanent apartment rental now. I am very excited about this and hope it will allow me to become more productive with my customers now that I can get properly settled. San Francisco is amazing and I am loving everything it has to offer.
I won't take up any more of your time this week, please enjoy reading the newsletter and all of the weeks news and of course pay careful attention to this weeks KB articles in case they may affect you. If you are in any doubt contavt your VMware TAM or other VMware representative to check.
Virtually Yours
