Good. VMware has been adding so much useless stuff it's astonishing. Anyone thinking about migrating - check OSS things out. Might not be as advanced, but do you really need all of that crap?

Ironic, since their direct competitor is Oracle VirtualBox lol

Never head of them, funnily enough. Interesting.

If you have a spare machine (or 2 if you want to test migration features) chuck it on and play around, it’s awesome.

VirtualBox is not an enterprise solution. These customers would be switching to hypervisor solutions like Citrix, Nutanix, etc.

Or containerizing with something like Kubernates.

Or moving to a cloud native solution.

Any number of things, just not moving their enterprise workloads to VirtualBox.
