Well, it was pretty much like listening to a bunch of guys talking about a conference they’re going to next week. In short, a bit chaotic, but hopefully interesting to eavesdrop on. I’m not sure if we came up with anything definitive, but Rod Haywood clued us in to the trick of flipping through the content catalog and seeing what looks new.
Remember, it’s not too late to register for VMworld 2008. It’s the best conference I’ve ever been to.
As always, listen via the widget to the right, the mp3 (1:01). Keep in the know via the podcast feed and the iTunes feed.
