We believe a profit-oriented company acquired a customer-friendly oriented company. This is a bad thing for end customers - especially switching from perpetual license to subscription based license. If their aim is generating profits only - perpetual licensing is in the way. Getting rid of that and moving to subscription is a natural way to get more money - at the cost of getting rid of those in need of perpetual license - like end customers and others. What is left are major companies that can afford a subscription. Also about VMware Virtualizatuon for end customers like Player/Workstation/Fusion. Those products will either be sold out to another company or getting a subscription as well. No exception here. I don't see why they should be kept in the portfolio if they aren't a subscription.
Apparently they spent 61 billion so there going to get there money back anyway they can, unfortunately in the process there going to lose A LOT of customers
A lot of opportunity has been created by just focusing on the top customers. I think we’ll see more investment in existing and possibly new solutions. IMO, Anyone that can reduce the costs in any migration path to other solutions stands to make a lot of money. For me, I’m just waiting to see what happens with EUC.
@@TheCTOAdvisor very much so. I'm guessing we'll try to negotiate some sort of reseller agreement for vSphere for Desktop. I'm also thinking that eventually Horizon will support another hypervisor or two. Technically, we could do that already by adding them as unmanaged desktops.

A very popular opinion. Not one that customers are overjoyed about but it's a popular opinion.

It doesn't seem like that's their concern, right?
@@TheCTOAdvisor no not at all, i spose they know the big companies going to stay and still pay mega money

With how tied Horizon is to vSphere, it will be interesting to see the terms of any deal.
