If virtualisation is your world then you can't miss VMworld. The largest conference/tradeshow on computer virtualisation is happening this week in San Francisco and gather more than 10,000 "techies" (not much suits but they are coming!). I thought I'll take a look back at the conversation I had with CEO Diane Greene at last year's VMworld in Los Angeles. And because we covered so many issues during the "high-tech" part of the interview, I'll publish a different post on VMware's co-founder on the role/mis-perception of women in technology.

During the first part of the interview, Diane Greene talked about Desktop Virtualisation and the Mac client (Fusion); the Competition with Citrix (and that was a year before Citrix acquired XenSource!), XenSource and Microsoft; the cost of VMware licensing (the client and server is free!); Open Source; Standards; and finally the "changed" role of the Operating System i.e. Windows. Is that the end of Windows? Sure feels like it when you hear Greene ;-)
