Steve McDowell, chief analyst at NAND research, told The Register that VMware by Broadcom is “laser focused on high-revenue, high-margin business” and has priced its wares “just below the pain threshold for customers they care about.”

Interesting way to word “we charged as much as we could possibly get away with”

Nearly the strongest possible language I can imagine being used.

That analyst doesn’t work for Broadcom; it’s a third party. It could say, “they charged as much as they could possibly get away with” but I think “prices just below the pain threshold” is stronger language in a business setting.

To be fair, this is what every single company is doing right now. Stallman tried to warn you!
