VMware's end-user compute products are for sale. Who might buy 'em?

Hope Broadcom is not shortsighted.

My View is Nothing might happen. Remember when Broadcom had this funny vision about changing the Core licensing model for VMware products while it was still discussing the acquisition agreements, well the backlash it received from VMware clients put the fear of god in Broadcom. Now coming to EUC products, Broadcom again seems to have not put much thought before announcing its intent. They need to understand that VDI business is here to stay. It's true it never achieved the pinnacle it was destined for due to the hardware performance related issues resulting in shitty user experience. The performance issues have now been addressed with the advent of Hybrid cloud/Hyperconverged infra. It is now a matter of time before most of the customers brush up their legacy infra. Assuming Broadcom understands this better and does not act in haste.
