Next Strategy Article: Successful Customer Loyalty Program



  • Who are my loyal customers?
  • Do I let them also stand behind the stalls so they can play the co-designers?
  • Do they get to be the hero?
  • Do they get to be our heros?
  • What kind of market segmentation should I focus on (age groups, classes, too many level, too few segmentation levels)


These (and more) are typical questions that any emerging and established firm might ask itself. We will try to examine what this can mean for Virtualization market. VMware has done some really cool things to keep its customer base happy and loyal.

Its like having customers truly feeling the friendship from the supplier, all marching together hand-in-hand. That is when loyalty begins to show!

Keep watching this space. I'll publish it within 3-4 days.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
