My old boss went to a conference in New York where she learned all about virtualization. Unfortunately, it was all sales pitches and she didn't really learn anything except for huge buzz words. When she got back from the conference, she was demanding that we look into virtualization because "we needed it!"

After a few days, I was passing by her office and noticed a book on her desk titled "Virtualization for dummies." Never mind the fact that she needed to read a "for dummies" book, but if she even had an inkling of knowledge of the network, she would have known from the start that there is no reason to virtualize anything. The infrastructure isn't large enough to warrant virtualization.

This is the same person who mistook a workstation running Windows XP with the classic interface for a Windows 98 machine.
