VMware's IPO: It finally dawn's on the tech industry

The rising demand for virtualization software is expected to generate more than $1 billion in sales for VMware this year, but most analysts believe the biggest moneymaking opportunities still lay ahead.

In a report released Tuesday, Jefferies & Co. analyst Katherine Egbert said VMware appears to be traveling on the same lucrative trajectory as two of the industry's biggest success stories, Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. Those software makers boast a combined market value of $364 billion 21 years after their IPOs.

VMware's potential turned its IPO into one of the high-tech industry's most anticipated since online search leader Google Inc. went public nearly three years ago.


Can you imagine, could even Diane have ever imagned that someday, maybe someday, they would be the one's to go this high. And also the fact that VMware might just about to be on its way to trounce the current giants!

Very interesting years to come. Even days are keeping us busy! Forbes reporting.

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.

I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).
