    List of Microsoft virtualization experts to follow


     

    twitter At the previous VMWorld conference, Microsoft organized a prize game, even for those who are not attending the conference. All those who wanted to participate only needed to follow any of their virtualization experts on Twitter, and every day Microsoft randomly chose lucky winner of ZuneHD. I am very pleasantly surprised to see Microsoft employees tweeting about events at VMWorld, and engaging in discussions with their followers. And they were, as always, writing posts on their blogs, so we had “live coverage” from the conference :-) . So here is the list of Microsoft virtualization experts that have Twitter accounts.

I hope to see other “famous faces” from the industry tweeting and blogging. Where are Steve Balmer, Steve Jobs and others…? It would be great to see them twittering and being part of the community. I am part of it, my Twitter ID is @ilijabrajkovic , so follow me.

      Yeah, I started my blog before I moved to Microsoft (while I was still at VMware) and then resurected it. Perhaps, I should move, then again, perhaps not.

      If it’s good enough for you, then stay. I just said it’s weird because most blogs of Microsoft employees are on TechNet :-) .

      Thanks for the comment,

      Great to see MS taking an outreach approach when it comes to virtualization. No doubt virtualization will be there biggest online server market in the future.
