garrynewman··on VMware to cut 900 jobs
I tried to set our office servers up using VMWare virtualisation stuff a couple of months ago.

It was a struggle finding out what I needed, then finding a way to pay for it, then finding out I'd bought the wrong thing.

They have so many versions of the same product, slightly renamed, with slightly different features - which isn't totally apparent. They seem to have renamed products, but have the old version of the product next to the new version - so you don't exactly know they're different products.

It seems to me that they could benefit a lot from slimming down and offering just 3 products - instead of the 100+ currently.

I can't have been the only person totally confused by all of this - and ultimately it's got to be hurting more than it's gaining.

What about hours? Should they be vigourously enforced 9-5? Or should people be trusted to get it done?

It's pretty stupid to expect everything to just work. Your parents should have grabbed the source code, learned how to program, deciphered the problem and then fixed it themselves. Then they could have shared the code to help everyone else's parents fix their problems.

Or just get them iPads.
