Yesterday, we announced an update pack for the NxTop 1.2 release that set the world on fire at VMworld back in August. NxTop 1.2 was really more than a point release for us, since we added some fairly significant improvements to the product. Notable among them were seamless integration of our NxTop Center management system with Windows Server 2008 w/Hyper-V and one-to-many management capabilities for Windows 7 a good two months before it reached general retail availability.
In the time since the 1.2 release, we have had our heads down and focused on taking the NxTop Engine experience to greater heights. It hasn’t been glamorous stuff. For the most part, it has been benchmark, optimize, and repeat in a number of performance and user experience areas. There are literally folks on our engineering team that have been so deep into Xen and the Windows stack that I am not sure they will ever be the same. 
The result of these efforts is a great set of year end updates to NxTop that will allow our customers to accelerate their rollout plans as we head into the new year. The coming year is predicted to be a big one for client hypervisor technology, and the fact that NxTop has the maturity and performance to run on real end-user desktops while competing offerings amble towards beta is very gratifying to us.
But don’t worry, we aren’t resting on our laurels. Work is already well underway on our next major release of NxTop, and based on what I have seen so far I think it will really turn some heads.
