EMC Corporation completed its acquisition of VMware today. This is the third in a recent string of software acquisitions by EMC as follows:
- 1/9/2004 - VMware (announced 12/15/2003; open letter)
- 12/19/2003 - Documentum (announced 10/14/2003; open letter)
- 10/21/2003 - LEGATO Systems (announced 7/8/2003; open letter)
I’ve been a satisfied VMware user for awhile now; so, I’m looking forward to collaborating with my new corporate peers.
