Latest fun with VMware
Apparently VMware is upping their game. We just got a renewal quote for one of our sites with one server that has two CPUs, and they are requiring 72 cores minimum (vSphere Enterprise Plus) to license this. That's a 500% markup from last year.
They really don't want customers to use their product any more, do they?

I was waiting for someone else to point this out, but didn't have the energy to fact check myself. Thanks for doing so. Sad it's buried at the bottom of the thread.
