Supermarket giant Tesco sues VMware for breach of contract

Negotiating tactic. Never really makes it to court.

Having VMware in 2026 is a sign of low tech.

VMware really damaged their business longterm, as anyone that can transition off, is doing so, and anyone else is planning on it.

They're not the only ones pissed off with VMWare [1].

What I don't understand is what prevents them to shop around for alternatives. What is VMWare's very good moat that prevents the competition from invading their castle?

> VMware is essential for the operations of Tesco’s business and its ability to supply groceries

Guess you're fucking it up big time somehow then. Why would you tell people this? "Hey, we managed to make ourselves permanently dependent on some bullshit tech, please partner vendors, fuck as much as you possibly can so we can pass it off to shoppers."
