To be fair to broadcom (I know... give me a little space on this), they said that is what they wanted.
Essentially, VMWare went to "for everyone!" to "If you have to ask the price, you cant afford it".
VMware was developed to help share server resources and reduce physical server need.
Broadcom thinks you should pay for the physical server without the physical server, not just once, but every year you have their software.
The sad thing is, they sit on patents that they will do nothing with, but charge others for.
