What was interesting is the CEO who announced this horrid pricing was a former Microsoftie so I can’t say the announcement was surprising in that regard. To borrow from another blogger...vmware thought they had more leverage over their client base than they did..they were wrong. Now that a former Intel guy is there that insanity is gone along with sane pricing models again. The question is…have enough folks been driven to hyper-v(microsoft) and Linux alternatives to hurt Vmware for only the short term?
