Next week's news: broadcom increases the price of VMware licenses ten fold and halts all feature development.

Source: they did it to Symantec. Broadcom is where tech goes to be milked to death.

They do that on their own. VMWare would blow up every deal we tried working with Dell, and our account reps told us everyone in Dell despised the VMWare account teams. The company that struggles to make a shit that doesn’t suck?

And that’s why we’re switching to OpenStack next year…
