How many % of Enterprise Plus hosts used a 3rd party switch? And how many in bigger DC installations, not random 2 host environments?

Thats the numbers i want to see, not a number taken from ESX installations that dont even support DVS to make VMware look better… Thats common sense, but seems VMware forgot.

If you were a company, do you think it makes sense to spend the cost of supporting the 1% use case forever?

While Vmware does offer good technology, there is absolutely no joy as a customer to have it shoved down my throat and all other options taken away. I’m afraid all this does for me is to accelerate plans to start moving away from Vmware as my only hypervisor. Smooth move Vmware, kicking your own customers in the teeth!
