EMC buying VMware
Vmware seems to be a little outside of EMC's core business, but what the
hell? http://www.internetweek.com/breaking...cleID=16900098 or http://tinyurl.com/zkgv |

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*.
