The General Sessions have been pretty informative so far. Its been a bit funny how they have mentioned in the middle of other presentations about them buying companies as almost an afterthought.

Integrien and TriCipher both are good purchases and TriCipher is a really important one to get the SSO addressed to enable cloud adoption.The most striking thing to me though is how much VMware have shifted a bit on their approach to desktop virtualization. They sound very much like Citrix now as far as placing the end user experience as the primary success factor to desktop virtualization. I noticed on Twitter that I wasn’t the only one hearing it that way.
