The Knowledgebase Team at VMware is happy to announce the immediate availability of a brand new browser toolbar:
- Instant access to patches, documentation, and more.
- Built-in RSS and Twitter updates direct from Tech Support.
- Live peer to peer chat lets you ask for help from other VMware experts and staff.
- Custom search capabilities.
- Works on IE, Firefox, Safari, and as of Feb 2011 Chrome.
- No spyware; secure, safe, and private.
Another cool new capability the toolbar gives us is the ability to send a desktop alert to all customers with the toolbar installed. Under strict circumstances, we'd be able to popup a small window on your screen with important information. Of course, we'd never use this to spam our customers, its use would be restricted to critical messages.
Give the toolbar a try – we think you'll like it. And spread the word!

Nice, but I’d be much more inclined to use this if it was a system tray based application rather than a browser toolbar.

How about a button to upload a collect-support-data file after a crash due to a bug ?

Surprised by this one, just a bit boring for vmware. Would have expected it to plug in to VC and give updated stats or health but as said by VMTN it would be better as a system tray icon.

Great work. It doesn’t display correctly with a dark-themed firefox persona/theme, but I still love it; it makes my job just a bit easier.
