[–] voidmain0001 1y ago ↗ Is this accurate? [–] not_your_vase 1y ago ↗ Hard to tell... there are a couple of similar (kinda noname) articles on the web, all 3-5 days old. I would have expected this to appear by now on the register, or on ars technica, both followed this story reasonably close... [–] detaro 1y ago ↗ https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/28/arrow_vmware_licensin... but its also just saying "a distributor claims ..." [–] not_your_vase 1y ago ↗ Yes, that's part of what I'm talking about.And the OP is about the reversal of this. [–] detaro 1y ago ↗ oops, misread that, apologies. Somehow I thought I had seen register mention the re-introduced free version and a lower core count, not a higher one.
