VMware clearly doesn't want any new customers and I suspect they haven't had any for years anyway. The plan is to move existing customers to subscription bundles (I don't see how that's different from a perpetual license plus support contract but whatever). The products aren't changing that much but some customers will have to buy a larger bundle to get the features they want. I assume the OEM licensing will come back just with different pricing.
