Well, then, 4.1 didn't last long. We just put a VM env. in place back in Feb. When we first ordered it back in Dec 2010, 4.1 had just come out.

You can’t buy any more 4.1 after 30 more days. Regards, Michael B.

The kye point here is that 4.1 isn’t going to stop working and will be supported for a long time to come, so it’s not like we have to decide what to do now, as I understand it. It strikes me that as a small shop (in vSphere terms) we’re “better” off I suspect than a shop with Enterprise licenses and 250gb/ram per host – it suggests true big enterprise customers will be far more badly hit than SMB’s.

Another analyst says VMware is sending a clear message to SMBs, “You can’t afford us”. Like MBS, I am NOT a VMware person. This is just my $0.02US worth. Webster From: Michael B.
