Unfortunately not surprising...
I've been a VMware "enthusiast" since the early early 2000´s or ESX 1.x (circa 2001) and have really enjoyed working with such a great and evolving technology...then Broadcom came along and pretty much overnight turned this into a nightmare!!!
It will be very interesting to see what occurs over the next few months + in the virtualisation market, what other potential alternatives pop up and prove to be/do in this space seeing that VMware has a very strong and durable product set and ultimately what Broadcom will do with it all...
Hopefully it won't all be sad....
Biting the hand that feeds IT
