    To know what's coming up in January, no crystal ball is required. In addition to covering my trip to CES in just 3 days, he're some of what's already lurking in my drafts folder:

    • VMware Converter 101 & 201
    • Add right-click search to context-sensitive Windows 7 menus
    • RocketU 1144A 4 port USB 3.0 Adapter for ESXi VMDirectPath
    • EaseUS Disk Copy (free) for disk-to-disk bit-for-bit identical cloning
    • Change Taskbar icon arrangements to be more space efficient
    • vZilla deep-dive virtualization videos & studio photos, including time-lapse assembly video
    • vZilla storage strategy becomes reality
    • Ooma Telo & Vonage compared
    • Windows 8 Storage Spaces

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
