you are a di--head for posting that.
Why isn't anyone using vt-100 terminals?
Stay on topic OP…
This site relates to virtualising people’s jobs, rather than workloads. I’d look elsewhere.
We aren't using hyperV because we work at vmware.

They ARE still using Hyper V if they grabbed the free version early. That group is likely camping until 2029.
The comparison is probably Proxmox or Azure Stack HCI vs Hyper V.
If someone was relying on Hyper V and didn't immediately shift to Azure, I'd expect more Proxmox adoption, as most of the VMware offerings would also be outside either the customers' price point or customers' expertise.
If their first choice to move after Hyper V was VMware, why would they have been settling for Hyper V in the first place?
VMware's suite has a ton of features no one seems to need though. I'd love to see numbers on how much VSphere 5.x is in the wild, even if it's only holding up with duct tape.
VMware is certainly pretty, but VMware seems to be selling zebras and advanced zebra care kits, when everyone would still really like to settle for buying a horse and watch a you tube video on how to care for the horse.
