>> Let me just make a comment actually here about the changing role of the operating system. I said earlier that the traditional operating system, which traditionally has two functions, one is, is to orchestrate hardware and the other provide abstracted services to applications, that that role is changing. Increasingly, the role of providing hardware coordination is going to the virtualization where and increasingly the role of providing abstracted services to applications is going to these new frameworks. And it's another example of why the traditional operating system, why it's not going to disappear. It's becoming essentially just one of several components that need to fit into this inaudible view of the world. Now, I said earlier that there are two other key trends that we in the IT space here have to deal with. One is, is the emergence of other clouds. We at VMWare are going to do everything we can to give the technology to you and to our partners to experience the hybrid cloud. However, there are other companies in the world, primarily for consumer reasons, who will be in the infrastructure business. And developers writing this new-generation of applications are going to want to know that they can, with less effort rather than more effort, deploy their applications across the borders for IT of infrastructure level clouds. And this is another reason why we think that these new application programming frameworks is so important because they will provide the glue or the affordability layer that allow you to take an application, run it on either a hybrid cloud environment such as the one that we're trying to build up, or take that application and with less rather than more effort have that application run on other clouds, particularly those coming out of the consumer world like Google, for instance.
