VMware stock on 110+

No matter what you say and no matter what kind you do. you have to admit, we've got a start here. Sure many folks are angry and hate while we all go deploying VMware all over the world (I do!) but it is going to take a while before anyone can come up to the management capabilities VMware has provided and has pushed innovation to the limit. Why? Just to give us the coolest technology we could ever imagine!

And investors are beginning to understand that too. Remember, our predicted 200 is the target for the six months, it is bound to challenge Google's ascent as well!

Check out the stock here.

Eric covers it too at Barrons:

Sumner says he sees core EMC worth $11 a share. He writes that he had previously assumed a price for VMW of $43, and notes that “clearly, the market disagrees with our assessment of VMware’s value.” He notes that the persistent spread in the price of VMware’s shares and EMC’s shares “should increase the pressure on EMC to spin off some of its VMW shares to EMC holders in a tax-free distribution.” As Sumner points out, EMC has 98% voting control of VMW, a position it could maintain with far fewer shares.”

And as for this, I think what most of the folks are not realizing is that VMware has not only scratched the surface, it has also achieved the "escape velocity". I am sure Viridian will do its work well when its out, but there's more to it than just completing the product development cycle. We are curious, as always!

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.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
