“Do you think big companies don’t listen to your insignificant
voice? Ordinarily, I might agree that they don’t. I would join the
chorus in saying that big corporations bow to their boards and
investors. And, we’d be right. However, VMware is different. They
don’t have to be different but they are. VMware is the Microsoft of
the virtualization space and they don’t have to pander to anyone’s
murmuring, complaining or whining. They could hold you for ransom.
Some of you thought that’s exactly what was happening with the new
VMware 5.0 licensing model announced in mid-July. Today, VMware
shows that its focus is on you, the customer.”
