Recently I wrote about the new vExpert program at VMware. As a follow-up I’ve learned that vinternals has launched the first ever vIdiot awards to recognize the other side of the coin so to speak. You can nominate someone for vIdiot straight on the vinternals site.
For those of you wondering what kings of things will get you a vIdiot award here’s just a few sample quotes.
Can anyone tell me how VMware keep saying that they are using Para metal Virtualization and overcommiting at the
same time?!!!
- Mohamed Fawzi
We know you don’t get it. That’s fine. Chin up, and do please keep writing.
- Simon Crosby (directed at me)
If you’re really interested in seeing a true idiot at work then you must read this Google finance forum thread. It’s long but worth the read. I just hope one day I get to meet kyungmo one day. What a fool!
So, if you know someone up for a vIdiot award make sure to stop by vinternals (unless of course you’re voting for me).

One of the many reasons I gave up reading USA Today years ago. When I go to check into a hotel I even request that they don't drop it in front of my door.

I thought you'd like that. If this guy doesn't get a vIdiot award I don't know who would.
