Beside cosmetic changes IMHO it does not cure the stuctural probelm
of the new license model. Esp. the fact that growing inside the
Essential path is still dramatically limited compared to the
old model lowers our potential to offer these solutions to
our customers.
As we are not entitled to sell the Enterprise line and Essential
no longer matches in most cases, it seems we have to
look for a new virtualization partner.
Additionally I'm a bit sceptical if we could from now on
expect VMware to act in a predictable manner so we
are able to make solid long term suggestions to our
customers.
