Why is VMWare considered so often

Technical glitch or comedy?

@Breffni-Potter Let me guess, trailing space in your email?

Nope.

Or space before? I can see your account is created in the database.

Case sensitive emails are apparently a thing.
Thanks @DustinB3403

Basically, the OP of the topic was
"Why is VMWare considered so often"
They've got lots of money, lots of people and lots of partnership details to constantly re-enforce the idea of VMware being the best and most reliable. It falls down under scrutiny but that's another topic.
So my thing with Xen Orchestra is, if you can do the same thing on a small scale, to help encourage people to think about XenServer. Why would that not be a good thing for you, you don't need to set your sights on 100 million marketing campaigns but can something be done.

So @Breffni-Potter wouldn't it be better for the Linux Foundation to have a IT Conference of sorts where XO could participate?
It has to take a ton of money to try and setup a marketing conference of any kind.
-
But...why leap for the stuff which costs money to do? My point is, If you can't do what the big boys do, what can you do instead with what you have?

@Breffni-Potter So what does that mean for everyone using ESXi that wants to upgrade?
That they are stuck with only a web console? (I don't use ESXi so I'm asking out of curiosity)

They've been talking about this for awhile now. We ran into it in the past year where they told us they wouldn't be updating the desktop client to work with TLS1.1 or 1.2.

No idea. I care not for VMware

The only thing that XO would be able to do is use Word of Mouth or to attend tech conferences with a minimal vendor registration fee.
That and develop the product to be as amazing as possible. What can you do with no advertising budget?

Correct. Which makes the most sense. Moving to modern application design is a great thing.
-
Oh I don't disagree.
A Webconsole would be the most simple and universal tool for ESXi, like XO is for XS.
I'm just curious.

The VMware web console (last I looked) was still only compatible with Windows... Have they finally gotten away from that?

It relied on flash. The new one is HTML5 so it should work anywhere.

eh... Text.txt and text.txt are two unique records to linux... so yeah I mean it makes sense... You aren't registered with "[email protected]" but are in fact registered with "[email protected]"
Seems like I should go and register with "[email protected]" just to mess with you a bit.
This way you'll get invalid password..... lol

Did Flash somehow make it Windows only? Flash used to be on Android phones..

Flash has never worked on iOS. And tons of places haven't allowed Flash for years (or ever.) Flash is anything but a universal standard. It's "available" on most, but not all, platforms and on some it is spotty support at best. But given that so many people and companies don't allow it, you can't rely on it without really being a problem. You might as well require people to have Silverlight or something else ridiculous.
