EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Storage vendor NetApp has signed an agreement with Microsoft, under which the two companies will work together on storage and virtualisation.

NetApp has long been a strong VMware partner, and claims to be unfazed by rival EMC's part-ownership of the virtualisation software vendor. But one can't help but wonder whether the Microsoft pact is NetApp's direct reaction to the VCE cartel struck between VMware, Cisco and EMC.

Also, it's that time of the year again - the iTnews job survey is back! To find out what you're really worth, simply fill in the survey and you'll enter the draw to win $1,000!
