What troubles me is why VMWare would pay such a high valuation for a company whose software is highly dependent on Java infrastructure from one of their competitors, Oracle.
I do see VMWare wanting to put together a more robust cloud offering with an AppEngine type infrastructure, but I think they would be more credible just hosting VMWare machines. That would be a great cloud to have- more like an easier EC2 with local storage than a constrained environment like AppEngine.
