      And Broadcom has a history of buying companies and squeezing every cent from them before they destroy them. I don’t expect VMWare to be around in 10 years.

          That’s over half? Gish, that’ll be absolutely brutal on the products and technologies… These aren’t calendar or email replacements, either - the core hypervisor and associated technologies are heinously complex. There’s just no way they can stay alive with that loss of I.P.

          There goes the enterprise, I guess. I wonder if hyper-v will clean up in their absence?

          I kinda hope proxmox or something FOSS will come through, but RE: the clustering and live migration stuff, I hate to think how well it works (I’m adjacent to this stuff, not working directly in it)
