The only kind of person who would say that they hate virtualization is a hardware vendor. Because of conflict of interests.
replyIn this light, Broadcom, a hardware vendor, who buys a popular virtualization product does a "smart" move - it supposedly eliminates the very thing that eats away their profits. But it only looks smart to the vendor itself. For everyone else, the move looks unprofessional and incompetent.
I never sold hardware, so there is that. I am rather anal about correctness and virtualization products are really complicated and as such almost nobody gets them to work reliably (if there is just one known bug, it's trash, IMO).
