A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I would say it probably won't go any worse than being bought by EMC, then by Dell, but at the time they were a darling mostly left alone. Now they're kind of a dying market.
It's not a dying market, everyone still relies on virtualization. But it is a saturated market, no more 20% growth years left, with plenty of cloud and open source competitors. Our financial systems hate a steady hand, and will tear apart VMWare instead.
