"Drop what you’re doing and download his SVMotion plug-in," advises Chris Wolf, Burton Group analyst, on his blog. (http://www.chriswolf.com/?p=136) "The SVMotion plug-in is the result of Andrew’s reverse engineering of the VI client libraries, so while it’s a great tool, VMware will not support it. Once Andrew publishes his white paper on building VI plug-ins, the plug-in floodgates will probably slam wide open."
