STIRRING THE POT & MAKING WAVES

The release of VC3 and its related press really opened some eyes, turned heads, raised  eyebrows, and  in some cases pushed buttons and even bunched panties.  I've worked for many start-ups in the Silicon Valley and I've never seen this type of reaction from both adopters and naysayers.  I know I've written it before, but this really is a revolution and together we put a major stake in the ground with VC3 and the awareness it gained in the networking industry. <Insert battle cry of your choosing> (ideas)

"Thank heavens then that we have companies such as Vyatta willing to use the web and its bloginess for proper,
fist in your face business.....It's nice to see that Vyatta isn't relying on open source's alleged good name alone as it tries to carve out a prominent place in the networking realm. More young companies should have the guts to kick their rivals where it counts."
