Lol @ a supermarket chain calling another company abusive.
Anyway, are these the corporate customers Broadcom decided to focus on to the detriment of the average user?
We were a VMware shop, albeit much smaller deployments. When a vendor increases prices up to 1000% (https://www.ciodive.com/news/att-broadcom-vmware-price-hikes-court-battle/728603/), you can bet that price is being passed along to consumers. VMware was by far the most popular virtualization platform prior to the acquisition, so it'd be a safe bet that you were affected by this from more than one company you deal with.
I don't understand your message. Are you implying I'm underestimating the effects of Broadcom's policies? How did you get that impression? I use VMware at work myself.
I was trying to answer the question in your second paragraph. Apologies for any confusion.
