I have no hopes that Broadcom will do anything beneficial with VMWare - only adjust product offerings to continue to suck as much revenue out of large companies who are slow to change things like virtualization technologies.

Broadcom bought Symantec a few years back and our Symantec Endpoint Security licenses expired - we ended up moving to another solution because we couldn't get ahold of anybody from Symantec to renew our license even after contacting them a month in advance - even our distributor couldn't get in touch with anyone from Symantec.

Broadcom sucks companies up and wrings every possible profit avenue dry and moves on to the next.
