“VMware, Inc., developer of software that enables a single
computer to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, today
announced that it has been selected as an Info World Magazine
analyst pick for 1999 Product of the Year. Kevin Railsback, a
Senior Test Center Analyst for Info World, chose VMware from among
the dozens of products evaluated in the past year by Info World
analysts.”
“We’re delighted that we were an analyst pick for Info World’s
1999 Product of the Year,” remarked Diane Greene, President and CEO
of VMware. “We have always aspired to provide a unique and valuable
approach to today’s need for flexible computing, and we are honored
by Info World’s recognition of our efforts.”
“Among other things, Railsback identified VMware’s ability
to run Microsoft Windows applications on the Linux operating
system, its benefits for developers, and its potential applications
for servers as the reasons that he picked VMware for this
award. According to Railsback, “Of all the cool hardware and
software I’ve looked at this year, VMware is by far the one that I
have found the most useful.”
