Good. VMware has been adding so much useless stuff it's astonishing. Anyone thinking about migrating - check OSS things out. Might not be as advanced, but do you really need all of that crap?

Drop the VMs and modernize. Containers, Kubernetes or if you really need VMs then get some cloud stuff, IaC. It's a brave new world.

Oh yeah and I never liked VMware, they are the Oracle of VMs.

Is there an alternative to windows VMs?

I have tried hyperv but it genuinely sucks just like every Microsoft product. QEMU/KVM, which is a type 1 hypervisor, is really nice tho.

Windows host or Windows guest?
