The former is something of an innovator's dilemma thing. The lack of focus on developers and applications was something of a VMware blind spot going back to Diane Greene days. But "fairly effective" underplays how well VMware has done over the past 10 years or so overall. There are things they should have been more aggressive about, especially with the benefit of hindsight, but they've been a very successful software company/subsidiary.
