Default EMC buying VMware

Vmware seems to be a little outside of EMC's core business, but what the
hell?

Actually...no. It isn't *that* far outside of EMC's lines of business.

One of EMC's core lines is NAS (Network-Attached Storage) and
fraternal-twin SAN. Both treat network resources (especially storage
devices) like so many plug-in appliances.

Also, there is Microsoft's acquisition of Connectix
(VirtualPC/VirtualMac) to consider. Microsoft can now roll out virtual
terminals with ease (via Windows Terminal Services or a combination of
VirtualPC and standard terminal software).

I could put this as a *defensive acquisition*.
