No mention of a handle of bourbon every night so I guess that's just fine as long as you're not camped out on your phone. :P

To be fair, IBM has jumped on the rent seeking train with both feet as well.

I think we've got a better chance of seeing Joe Biden win this year's NYC marathon than seeing this "startup" doing anything other than making investor capital vanish.

Try getting admitted to a Chinese hospital without a fat wad of cash in your pocket up front. I double dog dare ya. If you have no money, they will let you bleed out in the waiting room. If you are in a city/town without a local hukou, you're double fucked.

The number of sock puppets shilling for China here is rather astounding.

It's probably legacy CA software on the mainframes, not VMWare product.

Broadcom is an absolute abomination when it comes to rent seeking from legacy customers for their predatory IP purchases.

I think it's becoming less likely over time as Broadcom burns those bridges. I'm personally aware of a few that definitely have exited VMWare entirely (for the same reason they exited their legacy CA tools entirely).

There are some pretty big names that use Openstack at significant scale in production. There are more, but here are the ones that come to mind:

Disney
China Mobile
Deutsche Telekom
Telefonica
Banco Santander
