VMwares biggest customers will be getting deals apropriate to their offerings.

It sounds like this was a (comparatively) PITA small-fry legal / law office.

Maybe I'm completely out-of-touch, but an 8M$ contract should be sufficient to get "appropriate deals"?

Companies like Walmart, Centurylink, AWS (via Equinix), and the DoD (via General Dynamics) use VMWare and most likely have contracts in the 9 figure range for a backbone service like VMWare
