So the questionaire is still in the creation. Another member of the team that I’m in at work has looked over it and come up good suggestions which I included, and then passed back for another review. And recieved more suggestion.

I’ve had a look over the changes and they mostly make sense, I’ll certainly be including them where I can. Once that’s done I’ve a list of people that I would like to send it to so I’ll crack on with that.

I also had a meeting with the same guy to find out what sort of things they want to run inside the virtual machines. I have to admit that I’m a little disapointed that they only want to run a few simple things inside the virtual machines. I think they are missing out on a huge part of what it’s all about. But on the up side it makes it much easier for me to create the environment.

The other good think to come from that meeting was the that they liked the idea of creating containers that VMware’s ACE product can create. The idea is that you create a virtual machine using one of the other virtual machines products developed by VMware, then you attach these to a project and after setting up some rules, permissions and network settings you package the lot. The user then installs the package and that it, no faffing with the creation virtual machine technologies on each persons pc. Just give it to them, install and away you go.

Powerfull stuff.
