Any one want to guess who will really end up paying for the price hike?

It's not AT&T.

HyperV looking like a good option for a lot of customers now. They are in the Microsoft noose anyway.. so now they can go all in.

Thankfully Microsoft is a thrustworthy partner with the users best interests in mind. /s

At home Proxmox works reall well. When our VMWare licenses expire we'll certainly evaluate that as option.

Surely this is self defeating? Everyone seeing these insane price increases will scare off any potential new customers and drive away the customers they do have. Sure it might increase revenue in the short term but ultimately it'll kill the product. Or is that the point? Make as much money as they can with as little effort as possible and then let it die?

It is the point, this is exactly what Broadcom does.

They know customers will pay, but mostly they can lock in long term contracts on favorable terms.
