Q. reviews please?

A. VMware vSphere, (formerly developed as VMware Infrastructure 4) is VMware's first cloud operating system, able to manage large pools of virtualized computing infrastructure, including software and hardware.

VMware vSphere 4 was originally developed as VMware Infrastructure (VI) 4 then became its own product called vSphere.[1]

History

While VMware Infrastructure 3.5 was in development, vSphere was originally an enhanced suite of tools including the ability to do cloud computing across the Internet utilizing the VMware ESX/ESXi 4 releases.[1]

The Internet-aware and cloud-enabled enhanced suite of tools has been spun-off as a next-generation product VMware Infrastructure 4 (VI 4) parallel to but distinct from the VI 3.5 that was then ready for release (March 30, 2009).[1]

VMware eventually announced vSphere 4 instead of VI 4 on April 21, 2009 and released it on May 21, 2009.[1]
VMware released Update 1 for vSphere 4 November 19, 2009 to add support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.[2]

file recovery emergency?
Q. i downloaded windows 7 beta and i wanted to install it as fast as possible, so i began creating a new partition... but through a series of unfortunate events and poor decision making (cause i had VMware...) i accidentally erased my sister's personal folder... here's what happened: (all partition in this list are on a secondary hard drive)
1) i had a large partition (60 GB)
2)i made a smaller one to install win7 on (20 GB)
3) win7 installation said that the partition didn't have the required free space, so i rebooted, and using partition magic 8.0, resized the large partition into a 20GB-20GB state... then i merged the old 20GB (number 2) and this new one i had gotten from the unallocated space.. and as u know, partition magic makes a list of what u do and then it does everything at one...
so when it was "cleaning the truncated partition" my computer kinda froze... i think it was a normal thing to happen, but i'd never done it before... so, i cancelled the partition magic process via task manager... and all i had left where two 30GB partitions... with nothing in them...
so i need to know if there's ANY way at all to retrieve the lost files... because i really need to restore that folder...

A. Two choices here.
1. Use a partition recovery program like Paragon's or OnTrack's or Active's

2. Use an Undeleter and search for your sister's folder
