I got the idea for the vLaunchpad years ago from a web developer friend who created his own link page on his computer as a way to quickly find links on a single page rather than scroll through bookmarks. The vLaunchpad is intended to be a page for anyone involved in VMware & virtualization to use for all the key links that would be useful to them on a regular basis. It contains links to resources, reference material, all the many blogs and websites and much more. So enjoy it and if there is anything you would like to see added to it be sure and let me know.
