VMware bug causes worldwide disruption

Fixed before this article war written: ~9AM on 8/12: Bug was reported to VMware and several other sites.
~Noon on 8/12: VMware had the workaround (set date back on ESX hosts)
~10PM on 8/12: Fix was released

This article was posted on 8/13. Get your facts straight before saying that a patch hasn't been released. While I'm dissapointed VMware let this slip through their QA, I'm very impressed with how quickly they responded to the issue.; Posted by: evan@...
