I don't think this is a Cloud specific problem. I have seen it in pretty much every area I have worked (except maybe that mailroom).

I have seen it even from vendor provided "experts", who show up and proceed to read the manual.

Ken/James... good points.

That question of what will VMware look like in 5 years is key. With being acquired, founders leaving and competition nipping at there heels, will VMware stay as they are? Will the hypervisor remain their core business? I guess time will tell.

LOL... liked the tale.

The cloud is ldefinitey the home of personal servers/applications in the future. Once people like you mention (and of course www.rightscale.com ) make it that bit easier for "Joe Public" to use it'll be interesting to see how it develops.

I have taken to building test servers on EC2, as it is cheap, easy, fast and when I am done with it... it just goes "Poof!" and is gone. :-)

Enjoy the Mac, it's been how long now?

Hi,I played with the API last year at HackdayLondon and wrote a quick hack that used the MyBlogLog API to make a Nabaztag WiFi bunny tell me who visited my blog.It was A) well documented, B)So simple I could use it and C)Kent was there to help out! :)Shame it is still not public. :(
