The awards keep coming fast and furious at the end of the year.

The latest? Redmond Magazine ("The Independent Voice of the Microsoft IT Community") has awarded VMware Fusion (and VMware ESX Server, and VMware Workstation...I see a trend...) an Editor's Choice Award .

The best part? We won the "Biggest 'Wow' in an IT Product" award (i.e. "Your jaw just dropped when you first used this product"), beating out Vista's "Instant Search" and Ubuntu 7.04.

Before everyone says it, yes Redmond Magazine is a pretty geeky enterprise IT publication, but we'll wear that as a badge of honor. VMware has had great success over the years by winning the hearts and minds of Sys Admins the world over, making their lives easier and helping them get things done, first with VMware Workstation, then VMware GSX, and then with VMware ESX Server and VMware Infrastructure.

We're honored to be noted by the IT geek community, and hope that as more and more Macs, both personal and company-owned start flooding into the corporate IT environment, they'll think of VMware Fusion as the most seamless way to run Windows apps and peripherals on those shiny new Macs, using XP and Vista virtual machines they already built with VMware Workstation.

Hello world!

http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-1367-1561/fusion_facebook_200x200.jpg Welcome to the new blog for the VMware Fusion team here at VMware. We'll be covering all sorts of topics on the blog, from the product itself, Mac virtualization as a larger space, "Fusion in the news," and more. Pretty much anything we want to have an open conversation about, we'll try to get up here to spur it on.

Up to this point, we've been using the main VMware VMTN blog as our "home away from home" and had some success with some fairly well-received posts like "Top Ten Things You Can Do with VMware Fusion on Your Mac " (front page of Digg! W00t!) and others. But it's time for us to move out on our own. We'll still show up there from time to time, but our goal is to have a place on the web that is "all Fusion, all the time." And this blog will aim to be that.

We'll see what sort of cast of characters we get up on here. We'll definitely see our fair share of Pete Kazanjy, as the product marketing lead (hi!), my boss, Pat Lee, our product management lead, and Group Manager of Consumer Products at VMware. But ideally we'll be getting some of our rock star engineers up here too. You may have met Ben Gertzfield already, either through his blog, or other places on the web, like this killer tech talk he gave at Google on "Inside VMware Fusion ." Or Regis Duchesne , another one of our coding machines.

Of course, there's a whole slew of others here "behind the curtain" and hopefully I'll be able to get them out here to have a chat and talk some about what we're doing.

As always, feedback is gladly appreciated. Feel free to note in the comments things you'd like to see us cover!
