  VMware's hold won't last. Microsoft will eventually get it's vitualization product to work. Cytrix is poised to take a healthy share of the thin client market as forecast are that 40% of PCs will be thin clients by 2012 and it will allow them to work their way into the server area. IBM and HP are letting EMC stick around because they are not storage centric and have too many old school slow to react people. Solid State Disk are 2 years out because they are too expensive, but customers and EMC business partners buy into the buzzwords dedup, virtualization, encyption, SSD, etc. How is it customers don't see the bulldog like sales tactics by EMC for what it is.

  About time shareholders ask what's the matter with EMC! If you think about the exponential growth in storage given all the internet services (like yahoo/facebook/google) , cloud computing (crm) etc that are the growth engine in today/tomorrow technology, yet they are still not delivering the kind of value one would expect. This company runs like an old schoolboy network and have far too much dead woods and inefficiencies around. They grow by acquiring too many small but strategic businesses but does a very bad job of harnessing the effectiveness & results from the integration. I think the whole management has to be relooked, and fresh blood to unlock the company's growth once again. This is a sell long ago for me.

  What a surprise from a reader named IBM Guru that they are not in favor of EMC! Complaining about sales tactics? Come on now...are we a little upset because EMC eats your lunch every day? EMC is the clear leader in the storage market and will be for years to come. SSD drives are moving out the door faster than ever as prices continue to drop. EMC stock will take off and if you're not on board it's your own fault!

  IBMGURU:

  #1 - It's Citrix, not Cytrix.

  #2 - VMware makes a nice little product called VDI, it does thin client desktops and works beautifully with Wyse's products and pretty much everything else.

  #3 - VMware has patents around a number of its technologies, preventing others from an easy reverse engineering type implementation of their features.

  #4 - It's dedupe, not dedup if you're using the shorthand. Also, that's not a "marketing" term, there are a number of products out there now that do it well resulting in major storage savings, a few are now owned by EMC (i.e. DataDomain).
