If you sold stock in the past two years then you will be fired. Nothing else matters

They are going to layoff the rest of the legacy people who worked on VCF since 2015

Blame it all on the people who worked on the project and replace them with new people

The problem with VCF is not the people but the concept itself is flawed

It's the windows vs apple problem

Apple owned the hardware and won

The hyper scalers standardize hardware

VMC was successful because of standardized hardware and standardized design

The people who ruined VCF are ruining entire VMware now

Yes they ruined the company

Hock is a boomer who needs to take an evaluation and honestly retired

Customers will never move away from 6.x

They will migrate away rather than break everything with 9.x

Buy a legacy company and fire all the legacy people. All the legacy use cases will be broken. Break vSphere to build VCF. No one will dare to touch the new release.This is a clastaar faak

You take 1990s code with no documentation and that uses open source heavily from
2000s and has not been updated. Then you layoff all the architects who have been
keeping the thing working somehow.

The first sentence is 100% accurate. The second sentence is inaccurate: The 'architects' didn't make the stuff work. They bumbled along making things worse. They are the ones who did all the bad things, moved on saying "I don't work on that anymore", and never touched their ba--s of mud again. Then they left. If they can only do to their new employers what they did to vmware, then those companies too will have problems.

It just means that you have crossed the point of no return. The VCF is doomed. They have to write it off.

I heard it's VCF division . 20% gone. Date may not be early March.
BSG seems safe so far, until Q3.
