My Cab Driver in Bay Area

» , ,

Meng Weng reminded me to share this story on my blog.

I arrived in SFO on Sunday and took a cab to downtown San Francisco. I have a very jovial cab driver and we have a wonderful conversation. Started innocently with “hows your day”, we slowly move to weather and what do I do for a living.

Then I pop a question: “So whats exciting in the Bay Area”.

He answered: “Well, I think VMware is going to do very well. Their virtualization software is saving a lot of money for the entreprise”.

He then gave me a good 10min talk about what’s so good about VMware software, what the company is doing right, what they doing wrong, and what’s should be their strategy forward.

No, I am not kidding. Only in Bay Area…
