    They are not. Other vendors are just as expensive as the new VMware pricing. Only options for cheap VMs is going with a solution that most 3rd parties won’t support.

      Things like HyperV and KVM are free. We use one of these solutions at my company. One does not have to pay out the ass (or at all) for a VM.

        KVM doesn’t have the support that VMware does. Hyperv is missing a lot of features.
