VMWARE HAS released Beta VI toolkit for Windows. You can download it here.

Vmware is offering 102 commands for Windows administrators who wish to automate tasks such as snapshots, server deployment from templates and VMware Tools upgrades. Although some Windows developers work in Perl, Vmware knows full well that the vast majority use Powershell.

Vmware has offered these commands in Perl for ages but feels it is time to allow Windows users into the party, albeit in public beta.

It has also set up a community web site where it hopes Windows users will share their own thoughts and scripts. Whatever next? µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
