From now and than, Microsoft launches some very interesting videos about they’re vision about the future.
It’s like a glimpse ahead of how Microsoft sees us (and by the way they’re business) in a not so far distance in what concerns to health, education, energy, work and…every other technology that surrounds us.
This futuristic videos may also show us a glimpse of future products and services that Microsoft may launch next.
The below video about Microsoft’s Vision for Productivity, it’s from 2009 and show us some interesting things, specially about how touch technology and the “mobile first” mantra was a 2009 Microsoft’s vision and how for example Surface devices are the implemation, in real world, of that vision.
In the last days I needed to get a quick view of which templates we’re using on enviroments. Because we have linked clones, our pools have configured a ParentVM and the respective Snapshot.

One of the most compeling things about Apple it obviously it’s image. It’s design and…the way they show they’re products. For those who assisted to any Apple’s presentation, it’s easy to remember that beyond specs and functions, there was a real understanding about all the surroundings of a product presentation.

Last week I stumble upon this error when installing VMware Remote Console (VMRC).
After some googling about it I found just one way to solve this but…it works.
To quickly solve this and be able to user VMRC, just uninstall first VMware vSphere Client and then install VMRC.
