Macrumors post: VMware Fusion Usability Study?



Saw this, but this could very well be a spam as well. VMware has its own beta forums and most users report back to the Beta Team of their experiences and evaluate the experience at the end of the beta.

Are you an avid Mac user looking to run Windows on your Mac computer? If so, VMware is conducting a usability study for its new Mac offering, VMware Fusion, and would like your opinion!

The purpose of the study is to understand your needs for running Windows on the Mac and learn how you interact with Fusion so that we can improve the product to meet your needs. We’re looking for Mac users at all levels, especially those who have limited or no experience with virtualization products.

These studies will take place at our VMware offices in Palo Alto from February 20th – Mar. 2nd. We are looking for people in the San Francisco/Bay Area willing to travel to our Palo Alto offices during these dates. During the session we will ask you to perform a number of tasks and to answer questions about your experience performing these tasks. The session is expected to last no more than 90 minutes. In appreciation of your time, we would like to offer $100 in American Express gift cards, or a VMware Fusion license.


Funny post, like I said, if you want to send a feedback , do it through the VMware site and not just some forum unless of course VMware endorses it!

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. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

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

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
