VMware gets a stock ticker

You may or may not have heard that VMware is going to IPO and EMC will offer 10% of the company on the open market. Yes, IPO. It'll have it's own stock ticker and you'll be able to buy shares and everything.

In one sense I'm glad that other people will be able to get in on one of the biggest success stories in IT, but on the other hand I'm dissapointed that they've chosen offer a sliver of a crown jewel out to the open market in order to get EMC's woefully undervalued stock moving.

It's never dull around these parts.
