LinuxWorld ‘05
Work let me out a little early so I could make a trip to LinuxWorld and visit with some of the vendors. I made a beeline for the Broadcom booth to ask them why there was no source code or specs available for the community, and got the answer “wrong department, but we can take your information…”. I wonder how many times they got asked that question? I also went to the VMware booth and had a lot chat with one of the drones working the booth. He was quite knowledgeable, and told me VMware’s plans with their API, OpenGL, and DirectX support, along with how they are going to take advantage of Intel’s upcoming Vanderpool technology. The drone dissed Xen, but what should I expect from a commercial software company?
At least they gave me a free copy of their software for visiting their booth!
