Blogs are a great source for learning from other
users who share their knowledge, experiences, viewpoints and opinions. There
are many great bloggers in the VMware community and it was difficult to choose
the top 10. The bloggers on this list all have the following criteria: frequent
postings, consistently good content and are well known, knowledgeable and
experienced individuals. Thanks to John Troyer at VMware for his input in
helping select the bloggers on this list.
