If you are following me on twitter, you must have noticed that every now and again I tweet about a new vSphere book, and then one day later someone will blog about it (the book not my tweet of course )

For a change, and to get myself used to short blog posts (without all these full-blown video/diagram contents) I decided to break the rule this time and blog about it. Here is the description listed on Amazon.com, where you can pre-order it now also.
