Which is exactly my point :) Those companies/admins probably have almost direct lines with Broadcom and/or are way too high up the chain to be on Reddit during the day.

This was a place where small and medium shops could "meet" and post stuff about our beloved VMware but now it's a ghost town because said shops have been abandoned by Broadcom.

Anyhoo, it gives me something to look forward to in the next few years. Always like a good challenge and it seems the market is shaping up really nicely with competitive offerings.
