Broadcom loses another big VMware customer

Broadcom's handling of the VMWare acquisition gives me a renewed perspective and surprising appreciation of Oracle.

Both of them are lawnmowers.

They are looking to extract the maximum amount of money possible. I'd argue that Broadcom could extract more money with smaller uplifts but I think they are also looking to consolidate their customer base. Some of these crazy numbers may be doing just that - saying that these people aren't wanted as customers anymore.

Extracting the maximum amount of money possible is the primary purpose of a company. It’s what you should expect to happen.

I mean, sure it is, if you have a severe case of sociopathy.

That's capitalism for ya.
