<> What this company can do is mind-blowing to say the least and I won't be the first to say I don't 100% understand it. The jest of it; they can create virtualized hardware, folks if that’s not exciting I don't know what is?! Computers that can run multiple operating systems and sync perfectly! The possibilities are so illuminating; it almost gives me a virtual hard-on, lol.
BUY IT!

VMW develops top notch virtual technology, good enough to be the best in their space right now. That said, their management team has really done them a huge disservice in consistently missing their earnings numbers and giving poor guidance. The recent firing of their CEO bodes poorly for the company over the next year, but it is minimal compared to the prospect of Microsoft becoming increasingly competitive (at least on a cost basis) with VMware technology. Further, It wouldn't be surprising to see EMC shareholders (who own 86% of the stock) look to sell their shares and at least make a < />...

Business Trends Healthy for VMWare, But Stock to Remain Volatile; Reiterate Buy
VMW
+8.05%
in

7/9 - "In our opinion CEO Diane Greene parted ways as the VMW Board (dominated by EMC Management) decided not to spin out VMW for now. We do not believe that the departure of Ms. Greene has anything to do with reduction in full year revenue guidance...New CEO Paul Maritz is an outsider and we feel is unlikely to command the loyalty of the existing core VMW team which would be somewhat negative for VMW."
"We believe VMW’s competitive position remains very strong and the reduction in full year guidance has no relevance with any increase in expected competition from Microsoft’s Hyper-V."

7/9 - "Several analysts this morning actually asserted that replacing Greene with former Microsoft exec Paul Maritz should be considered a positive development for the company. “It was not a completely unexpected move,” writes Citigroup’s Brent Thill. “We believe Greene did an admirable job taking the company from zero to over $1.3 billion in 2007 revenue, but a different leader seems needed for the next leg in VMW’s story.”
"All across the Street, analysts slashed estimates on the company. Lehman’s Israel Hernandez, for instance, dropped his target on the stock to $41, from $75, and gave ...

7/8 - "Greene's replacement is former Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) bigwig and Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) executive Paul Maritz...Maritz was responsible for some of Microsoft's most successful products, such as Windows 95, Windows NT, and the entire Office line in the late 1990s. He was part of the five-person brain trust that effectively ran Redmond...After a short adjustment period, I believe that the company will get right back on the hypergrowth track again, ready to take on Maritz's former employer throwing its best stuff VMware's way."
