I am really tired of VMWare releasing half-finished software and expecting end users to be beta testers. First it was SSO (what a disaster that was/is), and now vDP - what is going on with this appliance? It's a complete resource hog that crashes constantly. Why does it need 4 CPUs? What on earth can it be doing that needs so much? Why does it take 10 minutes to boot the appliance? Why is installation such a mess? How come when I try to start backup jobs, half the time, nothing actually happens (apart from a snapshot being taken)? How come you are forcing me to use the webclient to access it?
The whole 5.1 release reeks of being rushed and I'm thoroughly unimpressed.
