You are merely Googling TODAY and seeing the picture in regards to VSI popping up

12 months ago or even 6 months ago this was NOT the case at all

6 months ago when you Googled VMS, you got references to 'dead systems' and VSI was not even on the first page returned!

Try going back in Google cache and see what the picture was like which is exactly why people are basically saying 'about time' or 'long overdue'
