Broadcom seems really determined to drive everyone away from VMWare at this point. I think they looked at pre-1990's IBM that locked everything up into service contracts top to bottom and decided that would be their business model. Makes Oracle look like GNU by comparison.

> Broadcom seems really determined to drive everyone away from VMWare at this point. They are but this a shit ton of money to be earned while doing so. VMWare is so cemented at companies that migration for many is going to be almost impossible. >pre-1990's IBM that locked everything up into service contracts top to bottom IBM still has a ton of those service contracts. It's small amount of their overall revenue but it's not nothing. 10 years from now, big F500 will still be on VMware paying insane amounts of money.
