The theory is "we already have a finance, S&M, admin etc" so we will dump the other one wot we just bought. That will instantly fix up the PandL and BS and the share price will simply head north because we have dumped duplicated cost sinks. Loverly Obviously, we won't bother to compare functions and functionality now 'coz ours will be the better one, 'cos its ours. Broadcom seem to be a firm of breakers, shakers and…

Yep, I do my development almost entirely within a Linux VM on a Windows laptop. Workstation already feels kinda neglected (lack of support for distinguishing between P and E cores is one recent unresolved pain point), so all of this is really putting me on edge.

I suppose if it’s a work laptop they might not be too pleased with this.

#67Hey proxmox, maybe get off your a$$ and put out a good multidatacenter management product so that I can transfer vms/manager resources between my clusters? It's one of the few features that keeps part of my operation on vmware instead of on your product.
Proxmox already has clusters that allows you to live migrate VMs between nodes.

#70Could someone who understands the situation better explain .. what are the business synergies between Broadcom and VMware? Is there any business overlap at all..? Maybe buying and laying off is a profitable move, but I'd expect it to be done by investment firms that specialize in that. It'd be a bizarre financial gamble for a chip company. So there must be some angle where this makes sense for them and not for anyone…
All these plays converge into allowing a company to buy their entire Enterprise Infra stack from Broadcom.
