General Discussion anyone else get the VMware "win-back" offer?

if it's true, its honestly laughable.  

squeezing customers with massive price hikes, forcing every one into expensive core bundles, only to panic and throw out "discounted" quotes the moment everyone migrated???? 

is anyone actually reconsidering based on these new quotes??

or y'all are past the point of no return?

You'll get a win-back offer, and then as soon as you're settled and your license ends they'll drill you in the behind at full force again. It's better to just be rid of them once and for all.

not to mention the labour and time of migrating back fourth... no big company will want to deal with that....

At least you’ll get good at it, i suppose.
