I give the deal 19/128ths chance of going through because China does what they want

VMware is its only chance to enter the Cloud computing space.

Not sure (anymore) VMware understands Cloud computing itself to be honest.

I was sitting in meetings where leadership seriously considered 'Mega Cloud' as a 'new thing'. Made me laugh.

Pat being a good Christian accepted his mistake and paid the penalty of 550mil and moved on. It appears that the cult of HT does things differently.

The deal is caught up in internal ccp politics. There is nothing that Biden or anyone can do.

In-house deal where the Chinese threw a wrench in the works. Sad.

pure speculation. So many versions out there, sooner or later one will be right (by luck). At this point, who cares what happens, VMware is screwed either way.. whole deal is a big mess, people suffer and the Michael Dell can keep the VMware carcass.

According the analyst, HT would have to consider whether the fines would outweigh the $1.5 billion termination fee Broadcom would owe to VMware if the acquisition does not close. Also VMware is its only chance to enter the Cloud computing space.
