I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...

I have told several people that I would be posting on the virtual shared graphics acceleration (vSGA) that I showed at VMworld US 2012, and I still plan on doing that. However, we are still prepping for VMworld EMEA 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, so my time has been consumed (not to mention helping take care of all the needs of our five kids). For those of you that are not familiar with vSGA, it is shared hardware accelerated GPU across multiple VMs running on an ESXi host. This feature is being introduced with vSphere 5.1, but will not be available in VMware View until a future release.

The unfortunate part about my position at VMware, from a blogging perspective anyway, is that I am most often working on un-released technology. So there is a lot I am not allowed to talk about. In fact, once a product goes GA (generally available) I am supposed to disengage... or at least only deal with how those products form a combined solution. I guess this is my way of saying that is why you don't see many posts from me.

At any rate, please stay tuned for some posts from me after VMworld EMEA 2012!!
