Except that VMware never open sourced VMkernel. That massively contributed to the lack of feature parity between VMware and Microsoft (I'd say VMware was 1-2 years ahead of MSFT). That helps you secure the market in the early years, and what you see as the valuation. Docker Inc is not similar to VMware in that regard.
