A couple of weeks ago, I said that VMware is out to hire half the Valley.  On the user experience team, we’ve hired four or five new people in just the six months that I’ve been here.  VMware currently has a zillion job openings, and now we’re about to triple the size of our main campus.

But that wasn’t quite right.  We’re actually out to either hire or acquire half the Valley.  Just look at the past few weeks.  We’ve acquired SlideRocket and Socialcast, plus Shavlik.  That’s three companies in six weeks!
