This week Justin Warren (@jpwarren) joins us our co-host.

We started off by getting back into the Dell-EMC deal. Justin was recently at DellWorld, and talked about his thoughts on the Dell acquisition of EMC and predictions for the future. I tried to get Justin to bet on an outcome, but I don't think we got him to put down any chips on either red or black.

"You can't be more AWS than AWS." -Justin

We make fun of public clouderati.

I still think Microsoft is the secret spice in Dell's future that nobody's talking about.
