Characteristic, yes.  VMware has many fine examples of virtualization
software to their name, which may even distinguish them from their
peers.  However, this is not an *essential* characteristic of the
company.  If that was the case, they could not both be VMware while
simultaneously producing a bad product.  In reality, this possibility
always exists.

Nitpicking of definitions aside, I simply took exception to your
implication that VMware could do no wrong based on their track record.
 If the world worked that way, we would have had a decent Matrix
trilogy.

This is more fun than studying.  Apologies to Charles for the derail.
