Chambers at his best

We're shameless John Chambers keynote groupies and from that perspective have watched his current theme evolve over the last 6-9 months. It starts with the issues of productivity and GNP growth and discussions with Alan Greenspan, and evolves into organizations based on collaboration rather than command and control and the contribution of network-enabled collaboration. He really got it together for VMworld (or maybe he doubled his Coke input for the event). We highly recommend watching (especially the last third or so). It was one of the best discussions on the business value of virtualization that we heard all week because he went beyond the ROI value propositions to make a strong case for business improvement -- he really nailed it.  You can find it from the front page of www.vmware.com following the VMworld keynote pointers (John was on the second day).
