This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a blog post Thursday, Tan noted that Broadcom spent 18 months evaluating and buying VMware.
But all of these moves have been with the goals of innovating faster, meeting our customers’ needs more effectively, and making it easier to do business with us.
Tan believes that the changes will ultimately "provide greater profitability and improved market opportunities" for channel partners.
Additionally, Broadcom killing VMware perpetual licensing has reportedly upended financials for numerous businesses.
In a March “User Group Town Hall,” attendees complained about “price rises of 500 and 600 percent,” The Register reported.
In his blog post, Tan defended the subscription-only licensing model, calling it "the industry standard."
