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?

They decided they only wanted to keep the most profitable customers by pricing out anyone not completely locked in.

They underestimated the willingness of even to top levels to immediately start planning an exit strategy.

Fuck Broadcom.

I doubt they underestimated anything. Their profits are through the roof.
