No surprise, same as with CA aquisition, brcd,emlx ... and others ... there are no strategic takeovers by AVGO, heard that fom Tock himself ... it's about the easy money and the payback-time. When the juice is out of it, throw it away.
Where did you hear this? Internally?
Sure i heard more, like top 1000.

- we do this today do you really think mom and pop shop that has a 1 million dollar spend has any pull at VMware? No.
