How is this disturbing? People moving away from Windows must make everyone happy in my book. Probably just leverage in contract negotiations with VMWare as other comments have pointed out though.
This looks fake. I just imagine someone shorting VMware’s stock on the other side of the keyboard… but who knows.
As much as I don't like VMWare as a company, I have to agree, this stinks.

I would suggest scanning through a few pages of OPs history to determine for yourself whether this is legit or not.
I tried to follow the advice. It's clearly someone who is working with computers and for a long time. The comments are touching various topics (from tech to society to random stuff) and it's likely that the person is behind a keyboard, not on a mobile phone: comments are rather long on average. That's quite compatible with sysadmin psychological profile. Hard to say for sure, but at least I am confident that the OP i…

Like possibly a national security issue of some kind.
'We' are at 'war' with Russia, after all.
For what it’s worth, I’ve heard that when the current war in Ukraine started the Moscow/Russian employees of a big US networking hardware company of which everyone on this forum has heard about had their access cut off instantly, as in the invasion started at around 2AM and when the employees tried to get to work that morning they found out they could no longer access the company’s resources. Which tells me that that…
And these big brand companies with international offices are full of spies it's good cover.

Yeah, I think the hint is that something is going on here. Like possibly a national security issue of some kind. 'We' are at 'war' with Russia, after all.
Fantasy fiction of a sysadmin that uses anonymity on the internet to craft themselves into someone more important than they are in real life.
It installs virtio drivers into Linux & Windows guests and updates configuration and registry, so the VM will boot straight away on the target.

> We are working on making OpenShift Virtualization as capable as we can (considering we're killing the Red Hat Virtualization product [upstream project: oVirt]) but it's not really meant, especially right now, to be a VMware replacemen Didn't know RHEV was being killed. It makes sense, the enterprise virtualisation market is shrinking by the day, but it's still a bummer there's less competition. Is oVirt being maint…
