From the post:

>Tesco, a retail conglomerate headquartered in the United Kingdom, is moving 40,000 server workloads off of VMware amid “abusive conduct” from Broadcom, recent legal filings claim. Tesco filed a lawsuit in the UK’s High Court against Broadcom alleging breach of contract last year. According to a September report from The Register, the lawsuit claimed that in January 2021, Tesco bought perpetual licenses for VMware’s vSphere Foundation and Cloud Foundation, a subscription to VMware Tanzu, plus support services until 2026, with the option to extend support for four additional years.

Nutanix has been waving in the business VMware drove away.

Sooner than you think. I know of zero people who think Broadcom has turned out well for VMware. It's like Oracle buying Sun all over again.

Tesco isn't the only one. Hundreds of companies are doing the same thing. Microsoft Hyper-V and Nutanix are really cashing in on Broadcom's greed.

You misspelled kike or black rock. I guess it’s the same.
