Warning, this post may offend some of the diehard VMWare fans, especially my brother...
I have refrained from blogging about the Hyper-V RTM release a few weeks ago, simply because of the fact that almost every Microsoft employee has already posted something about it on their blog. I have been waiting for some interesting news articles to be written by people who could be considered more neutral than me because they are not associated with Microsoft. Well, I have seen the following two articles this week that really seem to suggest that VMWare does not have a particularly bright future ahead of them, now that the final version of Hyper-V is out.
The first is this article which reports that VMWare has had a change of management and has also admitted that their predicted revenue is on the way down, along with their share price.
The second is this article which predicts that Hyper-V will surpass VMWare within the next 3 to 5 years. I especially like the image that this article has inline with the text...
Will a new headstone be required for VMWare before too long...?
