VMWare sells software that companies use to manage data centers. It is expected to be one of the strongest initial public offerings of the year despite debuting amid turbulence in the global financial markets. VMware helps boost the computing power o...

25B Market Cap? Are you kidding me??? VMWare makes a great product, but this is a clear bubble. They may have a small competitive advantage right now, but Microsoft has alternatives to their products and they will get squeezed hard in 2008 when Micro...

I use VMWare daily. There are many reasons 100% of Fortune 100 have adopted it.





1) The ROI for tech departments is incredible. We saved money the very first year. If I.T. budgets are tight, so much the better. You can b...

I do not work for VMware, but work in the IT industry. The VMware product is fairly simple. The concept has been used on IBM mainframes for years. VMware’s products, as stated before, reduce the cost of running IT departments and makes the compani...

Expect strong momentum over the next 8 months to a year, maybe more. Yes, there are competitors but VMW has the lead for now. Other pitches have covered all this far better than I could. Don't forget that beyond fundamentals, earning etc, it is 'per...

Both Intel and AMD (as well as IBM) are making multi-core processors only for the future. The software industry has not taken the multi-core or parallel programming by storm at all. This is going to be the next wave of software, and VMW has a 10 ye...

One of my Fooligan picks from the Rule Breaker menu.

Lets look at VMWare's P/E ratio. It is at 247 as of 11/5. That is significantly higher than any tech stock out there during the tech bubble.

For VMWare to come to levels that are acceptable for most tech stocks, say a mid to upper 30's P/E ratio, ...

The software allows companies to run many 'virtual servers' on one machine. this will become more of an issue as the power that runs the servers becomes more expensive. In the short term this stock is probably ahead of the actual value, but the value...
