That’s a great point. But vsphere not being available in the free tier kind of proves my point. Why hamstring your free tier by eliminating the more useful features? I understand not giving away your product for free but there was a way to do it where you turn it into a marketing tool.
You drive people away and then you end up in a situation where “esxi free tier is pointless” and then you kill that and all your goodwill completely. I guess we’ll see how it plays out.
Broadcom isn’t know for being great with acquisitions. It’s probably going to strip it for parts and sell it off.
