VMworld 2011 occurred a couple of weeks ago, but the energized crowd of 19,000-plus attendees and the raft of VMware and partner announcements that accompanied it make it worth revisiting.

EMC CEO and Chairman Joe Tucci called the company's "Smartest System" launch event in New York City, "not just largest in the history of the company but of the industry" -- but was that a fact or mere PR-speak?
