VMWare went public yesterday and popped 79% on the first day. The company's market cap is set at $19 billion making it the 5th largest software company on the market; reasonably so.

VMWare's virtualization software is unbelievable and is only the beginning of what will be a virtual server explosion. I am not going to miss this one. Ive sat on the sidelines and watched some HUGE tech IPOs fly by in the past (like when I thought GOOG was expensive at $85) and I am not going to let it happen again.

Bought in @ $51.99 this morning.
