Yeah, first I get my boss to fork out 200euro for a workstation pro, so I can start doing esxi with my students. Before we can get esxi up and running broadcom locks esxi behind a non-transparent subscription with rumored insane monthly payments. Leaving me with an overpriced desktop hypervisor, which is now free.

Only free BTW because broadcom wants to lock as many as possible in, before pulling their pants down and ramming a subscription up their behinds.
