Congrats to Mike Preston and Proactive DRS/DPM w/ vCenter Operations

Way to Go to Mike Preston (mwpreston), winner of the VMware 2012 Open Innovations Contest. Mike's idea, "Proactive DRS/DPM w/ vCenter Operations” was the grand prize winner picked from over one hundred and twenty other submissions to vmware. Mike is a Systems Analyst for a public school board in Ontario Canada. Other than being Montreal Canadians fan, he seems like a great guy with a bright future in virtualization. #CanadiansSuck #GoLeafs

 Keep up the great work Mike and don't go "Virtually Insane" on us just yet.
