VMware, we need to have a heart to heart about your VMworld tagline thing

"Ready for any" is just awful guys. It's to similar to Budweiser's "Up for whatever" campaign. It's like that Rick and Morty episode where Jerry comes up with the ad campaign that says "Hungry for Apples?", which is pretty much just "Got Milk?".

Alright now that I have that off my chest, this should be a fun VMworld.

Pick one.

Seriously VMware's marketing has been laughably shit for the past few years.

Cough cough (I really wish I had my hands on that original twitter account stuff)

I won't be happy until VMware finds a way to incorporate kittens into the VMworld logo.

Does this mean VMware is ready for a VUM appliance?

VMware has never been great at marketing or naming anything for that matter.

Agreed. Ready for what? Also the shirt this year are not good at all. Literally just READY FOR ALL and that's about it.

I thought that it was a bit plain. Solid black shirt with the tag line, and vmware on the arm. I don't hate it, but it is very minimalist.

If it didn't have that tag line I would like it. I like plain t-shirts.

I really like the backpack. The water bottle is a little cheap and plastic-y, but the bag is super nice.

From the same company that bulk renames their software every two or (random) years. vRealize enough already.
