Will VMware's Fusion product fare poorly in MacWorld?



ComputerWorld reports that VMware's fusion product may have limited appeal. I don't know about that. I think VMware came around pretty quick and its up to the Mac users and desktop/laptop owners now to give fusion a spin.

VMware Inc. has reported strong initial interest in its virtualization software designed to run on the Mac computer platform, but skeptics doubt it will improve Apple's share of the enterprise market.

About 70,000 people registered for a free download of the software prior to the release of the beta version Dec. 21, and since then, about half of them have proceeded with the download, said Srinivas Krishnamurti, director of product management and market development at VMware.


In my opinion Fusion could have a lot more. Had Fusion had the ability to also run a Mac OSX in MAC OSX it would have rocked. And the Workstation integration would have helped a lot. (Look at the poll on the right). What does Apple want:
  • Sell Mac Hardware
OR
  • Sell OSX/Leopard
OR
  • both?
I think both is the answer. Wouldn't it have been great if I could run my Mac OSX VM on Linux/Windows/Mac OSs? That would have prompted a massive download figure. I would have loved to run and display the Oracle RAC on OSX.

Redhot Future Of IT Part I :Marketing yourself as IT professional

I had promised about the "RedHot IT Future Series" and so we discuss here how you should market yourself EFFECTIVELY as an IT professional in this new (and dangerous) web age! Web is the place where you're a hero today and villain tomorrow. While there are lots of professionals who are active on the web, not all are enjoying a good reputation as they got "personal" with others and got into a cockfight. The passive IT professional has nothing to lose but nothing to gain at all!

I know "marketing" might seem as a greasy term but the idea is to have the truth about you out there. You know you're a good person and your family knows that you're really smart person but the rest of the world doesn't!

So the question is how do I market myself on the web as a true "nouveau IT professional". A guy who companies will be tempted to pick up the phone as say "Hey, we wanna talk with you. Can you fly over to Palo Alto (or Guatemala or Johan…
