4 Ways to WIN $2,500 Prize With vSphere Java API

You may have read blogs from my colleagues Mike DiPetrillo, Duncan Epping about the VMware Script-O-Mania contest. The prizes are $2,500 (1st), $1,000 (2nd), and $500(3rd) respectively. The contest ends in March 15, 2010. So act quickly!

I suggest you talk to system administrators what REAL PAINS they have, and how they would like to fix the problems.

If not, open source VI Java API can help you!
