    Paul Maritz is a very nice guy - an absolute legend, brain the size of a planet - and wonderful to talk with. I've been lucky enough to have a few meetings with him - plus a few private dinners. (I don't work for Pivotal). Dry sense of humour as well.

    The next few months will be fascinating for the EMC Federation.

    Good on him, and let's hope he can spread his awesomeness a bit further.
