Recently I was going through some of the VMworld 2015 videos and I came across this interesting new concept this year i.e. VMware Rock Stars. I was very happy to see Duncan’s and William’s interview under this new concept as VMware Rock stars. For me both are the rock stars soon after I joined VMware around 2.5+ years back. I really enjoyed both the interviews and I thought it is worth to share with you all. I am sure, you will enjoy as well.
