Our Economy Ain't Dead Yet
    All week, the financial news has been bleak. Lehman Brothers saying uncle, 
  stocks falling faster than a base jumper, the doom-and-gloom analysts getting 
  unlimited air time... 
But I was living in a different world. At VMworld, there were some 10,000 customers 
  looking to transform their shops, over 200 third parties creating a brand-new 
  and vibrant market, and a company, VMware, looking to do revolutionary things 
  -- doing it all with a fair bit a class and savvy. 
Virtualization also offers us a way out of this economic and even energy mess. 
  Through the massive centralization of servers, PCs, networks and storage that 
  virtualization allows, we can save mega megawatts. The energy saves are stupendous, 
  as are the hardware and management economics.
