Not really. On the smaller scale there was no reason outside of familiarity to run VMware over hyper-v.

This will be a shift for on-prem deployments. For cloud solutions running VMware in AWS/Azure, unless those renewals go up significantly, most of VMwares mrr is already locked in and the people running these setups generally refuse to learn how the cloud works so it’s a pure lift and shift mentality.

But the pattern begins, broadcom buys VMware does nothing increase prices. Why would any sane client stay around to get VC squeezed.

On prem deployments at my sites swapping to hyper v prior to renewal with VMware. We saw the writing on the wall after what broadcom did to us when they bought Symantec.
