Travesty, tbh.

Yeah, saw this in another post here and it is a shame they are killing it off.  Was great for learning and testing VMware especially in a HomeLab setting.

I think it will impact on VMware Business 

I think it’s going to make it harder to get newer guys to play with VMware products.  I think they’re going to go forward with the likes of ProxMox and XCP-NG and even the likes of FreeNAS and such.  But I have to agree with Gostev, in that if they goal is to cut out small business and go enterprise-only, this is a great step towards that.
