At a time when VMware is trying to transform itself with new products and is being spun off from Dell the list of executives who have left this year is growing. There is no better way to signal your confidence in the future than voting with your feet. Just this last week 3 people who I work closely with have left. They were the smart people too. Given the many blunders by management I expect that more people who can think for themselves will be leaving.
