EMC = SUX

Talk about cheap, lame, below the belt marketing sleazery. EMC mails out “promtional” upgrade offers to all GSX customers. We own 8 licenses of GSX 3, which are now replaced by VMware Server, a free product. We spent $2000 per license on a product that became “free” within a year. Still recovering from that bullsh*t, now we get this peace offer to upgrade to Virtual Infrastructure, a new product, for FREE. Check out the email below…EMC BS offer

“Upgrade Now” it says. So I click the link. It displays a registration form. No big deal, typical stuff. After filling it out, it progresses (or I should say degresses) to a banner saying “Thank you! A sale representative will contact you shortly to discuss your upgrade plans” and then displays a “Top 10 reasons to upgrade to Virtual Infrastructure” PDF brochure.

I CAN’T WAIT for that poor bastard to call. I’m going to rip his/her ears off. Their only hope to survive is if I haven’t had my coffee before they call. It’s going to be a bloodbath. >:(
