If you checkout my Experts Exchange Profile, you will see I’ve got a new Badge
The “badged members” are Community Volunteers, and I’ve recently been “upgraded” to a Zone Advisor (ZA) for VMware and Virtualisation Zones, sometimes called Topic Advisors.
Barry Coombs and Mike Laverick’s new book Building End – User Computing Solutions with VMware View has just been published. It’s available here as an eBook.
I was fortunate enough as one of the VMware vExperts in the Community to proof read the book before publication. You can see my name in print on Page 6!
Needless to say, it’s an excellent book, and should be on all VMware View Admin Bookshelves!
Been changing some VMware hardware, on some Windows Servers hosted on VMware vSphere, and this error popped up!
Virtual hardware on virtual servers of course!
I’ve just received an email from Experts Exchange, it reads

On April 2nd, I blogged here about a mysterious parcel from VMware that arrived by FedEx.
The parcel contained an Amazon Kindle Fire, not available in the UK. To be released later this year. I’ve not done the Android experience, being strictly an Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows CE/Mobile, and Nokia nerd. So it will be interesting to checkout what Android 2.3 ‘Gingerbread’ has to offer, compared to Apple iOS 5.1.
The Amazon Kindle Fire is a Full Colour 7 inch, multi-touch display, tablet, with WiFi, web, movies, music, apps, games, reading & more, and it runs Android 2.3 ‘Gingerbread’.
VMware sent me the gift, as a Thank You for providing feedback in the My VMware Beta program.
Thank You VMware!
