Yeah lots of trying to jerk us around. I have 2 solid contracts right now and one other should be in by end of day.
That sucks, it sounded like it was going to be really good, too.

Field trip to Letchworth?
I suggested this too!
My wife and I went there on one of our first trips as a couple (I was living in Rochester at the time). We went in late fall.... gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe it.

one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Rochester. We were connected with someone from visitrochester.com. She is doing a ton of leg work for us now and helping us find something. They will also do promotional videos of the area and event center for us, press releases, brochures, maps and plan outside things to do if we like. Wish we would have known about her a month ago.
Having someone else do the leg work for you makes it so much easier... and saves times too.

@gjacobse AMEN TO THAT!

You could always come to Horse Country.... We have the Bourbon Trail

@gjacobse You had me at Bourbon

Afternoon smoothies.

@MattSpeller
I feel that since I live here, I should enjoy it. Sadly I have yet to find one that can get across my palate... -
Why marketing companies should not make technical material.... they didn't even realize that when they were making an "authoritative" infographic that they were confused about virtualization being nine years old rather than the 51 years old that it is! NTG moved to virtualization prior to the beginning of their timeline! @andyw was writing virtualization in the 1990s!! It was required coursework with SUNY for freshman in the mid 1990s. Even Cornell was teaching it in engineering classes in 2001. In the 1990s it was already the standard for enterprise servers. VMware and Xen were even doing it for x86 long before 2006.

The mighty orange marketers have spoken!!! Virtualization has only been around 9 years!!!!! How dare you throw facts at their pretty infographics!!!!

How do you figure?
@scottalanmiller says virtualization has been around for 52 years.... OK fine, but to the masses it hasn't been. Sure it's been around longer than even the graphic shows... but the graphics point was to show that in a short amount of time - less than 10 years - the industry has moved to more than 70% virtualized. The amount of servers that were virtualized for the 40+ years before that was negligible.

Why do you think that? Other than the small "IA32 server boom" of ~1992 - 2002 where there wasn't enough power to virtualize causing a blip in the virtualization space in the SMB market, where were you seeing so many unvirtualized servers?
-
@Dashrender said:

To the masses it still isn't. We are talking about servers being virtualized, not grandma knowing the word without knowing what it means. The masses are not a factor here. Sure that might matter if you are marketing non-IT products, but that it matters for marketing doesn't mean it changes reality.
-
@Dashrender because we studied about VMware when I was getting MS certified, which I finished in 98 or 99. No, it wasn't in the hands of the masses, but it was in the hands of enterprise. If they meant to show the timeline of virtualization for joe and jane consumer, sure, it's much shorter, but they should point out that qualification.

And they shouldn't start the timeline yet because Joe and Jane Consumer aren't getting anything virtualized yet or anytime soon.

I definitely remember using VMWare workstation in the mid to late 90's but I definitely didn't know anyone running VM servers at that point. By 2002, sure, I knew a few, and Scott's right, it was on it's way in 2006...
