I’ve added a couple more blog links, as well as links to information about the technology included in the launch. I also included all of the YouTube videos and the Launch Kickoff Video from Joe Tucci, John Chambers and Pat Gelsinger. I covered the analysis of the Gartner market share report here.
I’ll add more as they show up, and if you see something I don’t, please leave a comment below with the link and I’ll take care of it.
