On the one hand, it's pretty cool that VMware has pivoted so successfully over the past 15 years from being solely focused on a hypervisor (or, I suppose in modern terminology, "self-hosted cloud") business that the cloud largely supplanted. On the other hand, it's sad for someone like me, who used Workstation to run VMs at home (I moved to VirtualBox), and have thought at times about spinning up ESXi.
What’s up with this? Did their company steal the name of the tool rsync?
I gave them right of first refusal, etc., and they said my use of "rsync.net" as the name of the company, domain name, etc., was acceptable.

I joined VMware just after the release of Businessware 2.0 - which I agree was 14 years ago.
The big money maker was vmotion because it allowed datacenters to decouple the server from the underlying hardware. Ever after, the money was in the datacenter products.
For some reason I could not edit my post so I had to reply to my post.
(Everyone was fired after that season, except for Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo.)
