Broadcom is scaling back their ingenious #VMware plan to *only* service their top 2000 customers and instead they're saying that now they're going to service only their top 500 customers.
I'm a longtime VMware user and customer (ESXi and Workstation) and I feel utterly shafted.
Leaving hundreds of thousands of small customers who *want to continue using and buying your product* twisting in the wind because...why?
I haven't even been able to access the licenses and products I had previously paid for since the acquisition, let alone buy anything. I feel like I was robbed blind. What the hell is this?
Welp, time to switch everything over to #Proxmox.
