- Zigurd 4mo agoFor context, Broadcom bought CA.
- kryogen1c 4mo agoThis still confuses me. It's clear they wanted to 10x licensing costs and /10 customers which assumably raises margins, but i still dont see it working out. My international enterprise and all our business partners moved every broadcom product we have to a competitor. On top of that, they were very aggressive and combative with their sales+cease and desist threats. They earned enemies for life. Some of us care about business relationships. Broadcom is dead to me and anyone that will listen to me.
- nikanj 4mo agoThat's what people have been saying about Oracle for decades, and they're still going strong
