• VMware CEO Causes Public Cloud Stir - Cloud-computing - - "Given a chance to supply more context through a transcript or to modify the exact quote, VMware spokesmen have declined to do so. So Gelsinger's words have to stand as noted. What's different about them is the opposition to public clouds that don't bear the VMware label."
• Open standards are key for security in the cloud - "The current divide between proprietary and open approaches to enterprise cloud computing has implications beyond the obvious. More than just issues of cloud interoperability and data portability, open standards have benefits for user identity, authentication and security intelligence that closed or proprietary clouds threaten to compromise."

• VMware: Stick with us because Amazon will kill us all — Tech News and Analysis - "VMware’s advantage is that nearly every company of any size runs vSphere in-house, but parlaying that virtualization dominance into the public cloud has proven difficult. Fair or not, VMware is seen as the expensive, proprietary option while AWS has become the go-to plan, at least for  test and development environments. Now Amazon is pushing hard  to win production workloads as evidenced by its big AWS: Reinvent show last November."
• The VMware Community Has the Innovator’s Dilemma | Forrester Blogs - "Forgive my frankness, Mr. Gelsinger, but you just don’t get it. Public clouds are not your enemy. And the disruption they are causing to your forward revenues are not their capture of enterprise workloads. The battle lines you should be focusing on are between advanced virtualization and true cloud services and the future placement of Systems of Engagement versus Systems of Record."
