VMware isn't just VMs. They are deep, deep, deep in the stack at some places. There isn't a realistic migration path away from VMware for the customers that Broadcom is interested in keeping. Or, put another way, the time it will take for those customers to move away from VMware (which they won't) will take Broadcom to make their money back on this acquisition a few times over.
