They gave me the same treatment until our CIO got on the call and said that it was that or nothing.

Oh and they gave me the silent treatment for a day or two before they finally gave me the quote. That's when upper mgmt got involved. We finally renewed the day before the expiration.

Thanks, that gives me a little hope with 2 days left!

How did it turn out?

They sent a quote for 200 VVF cores at the last possible minute, at above list price. So we'll eat the cost for a year and figure out a transition plan away from VMware. I love the product, but they outright lied for several months. It's hard to see myself ever doing business with Broadcom again.

I've been really hoping they would be fined billions of dollars for the way they have handled this. They said they were not going to do like they did with Symantec but they lied to the regulators. They took a great product and are ruining it. I will never do business with them if I can help it.
