it will be 7 years until emc even have a way of finding out if youre an existing dell customer without phoning a dell part of the company and having to wait in a queue with everyone else

the sonicwall acquisition was in 2012 and they only just unified the support request system with the rest of dells software division

I know, I was just hoping we could get something out of it since we pay shitloads of money for their support anyway :smith:

Yesterday there was a town hall thing and Mickey D was like "I'm really pleased to have bought you, I didn't buy the great EMC products but also the incredible staff".
Joe then goes, ok well Michael has to leave now cya Michael and that's it we got ten minutes of attention from our new leader.

I think I'll move to Pivotal before they IPO

xenserver is unpolished as hell compared to vmware but the licensing isnt some sql server/oracle level of bullshit yet

not cool that they require a support contract to use the vGPU poo poo now with the latest version, it's one of the only things it does better
