So, we will see if the problem with Cloud Foundry was the conflict with VMware’s application cloud partners or a lack of ability to execute. Count me as an skeptic because this is a difficult offering to develop and mature. However, I do respect Paul’s original vision and hold out hope that the narrowed focus on the platform will pay off for the overall industry.

And yes i do see two targets — the huge public clouds — AWS and Azure as well as cloud-based enterprise applications that can run in those clouds but for now are probably more private cloud oriented. thanks for your note

What about the application stack, like Microsoft 365, hosted Exchange, Yammer? Zimbra, Socialcast and other non-core products could eventually move to this new company.
