Hi folks! So if you are avid fans of VMware View, you are going to love this.

The new VMware View client will support Kindle Fire, Mac and Linux. It is optimized for Mac OX X Lion, and will use Lion’s full screen mode as well!

The client will also be easily available through the Ubuntu Software Center for easy installation for Linux users. Also the Amazon Appstore will be carrying the client for download as well!

This will definitely expand the reach of the VMware View market and is great news for the virtual world!

Studying for CCNA Voice

Raj Perumal — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 23:17:53 +0000

Hi folks! So I’ve been studying for my CCNA voice. I figured it’s time for me to expand my skills into the voice arena since it seems to be overlapping into the network world a fair bit.

I have always had some experience from my CCNP training, but studying for the CCNA Voice is giving me a great look into the voice world. The best part is that Cisco just came out with a new CCNA Voice study guide this month so it’s fairly up to date!

You can buy the book for cheap from Amazon.com. You can review the new exam topics for the new exam 640-641 here.

Windows 7 at 50% off?

Raj Perumal — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:37:13 +0000

Hello again folks, as you know the Windows 7 launch is getting closer and closer to us. Well as of late I just saw this new offer from Microsoft.

Microsoft is offering Windows 7 at 50% off for a pre-order deal. You can go to Amazon and pre-order it now. You can also check out the offer here at Microsoft. So what’s going on you might ask?

In my opinion, Microsoft has decided to take advantage of all the buzz surrounding Windows 7 and take a much needed break from all the crap they’ve been getting about Vista. By selling Windows 7 for 50% off, they will instantly generate good will towards themselves after the Vista boondoggle. This is a smart move on their part and it should be interesting to see how this plays out.

So if you were on the fence about upgrading from Vista, let me tell you now, do it! Windows 7 is way better than Vista and the early releases I have tried have been great!
