Discussion on: Diane Greene ousted from VMware by EMC board of directors http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/diane-greene-ousted-from-vmware-by-emc-board-of-directors/ Sat, 30 Aug 2008 05:35:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.1 By: Rick Vanover http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/diane-greene-ousted-from-vmware-by-emc-board-of-directors/#comment-69 Rick Vanover Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:41:47 +0000 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/diane-greene-ousted-from-vmware-by-emc-board-of-directors/#comment-69 Somewhat of a surprise, but really not when the business side is viewed. I think that VMware has the potential to remain the leader, and honestly, I want them to do such. The stock price situation was probably an indicator of something like this for a long time. Make no mistake, Greene can jump into any of the other players in the field and make an impact. But, all things considered, best of luck to VMware and this may be the change to maximize potential of the market position. Somewhat of a surprise, but really not when the business side is viewed.
