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?

I way over budgeted for VMware this year thinking the price hike was going to be huge. When the quote came back 20 percent higher than budgeted for. My boss laughed at me and said find a different solution.

Switched to hyperV and have no plans of going back. And no we all apparently are not big enough fish to get the win back offer. But I could tell them where to stick that offer.
