    Why on earth would anyone buy VMware Workstation Pro or VMware Fusion Pro for $199? Oops, I did actually once, so no judgement here. That was before I learned that I could get the huge list of VMware products too for less money, including VMware vSphere 7.0, vSAN, NSX-T, and many more from VMUG Advantage EVALExperience, and VMware Workstation and Fusion, for just $180 per year! That's $200, minus $20 if you remember to use TINKERTRY at checkout to get your 10% off.

    Note, VMUG Advantage is part of the VMUG organization, so using the same login email address for both is best. The VMUG organization is not owned by VMware.

    Disclosure: VMUG Advantage has purchased ads at TinkerTry within the past 12 months using 3rd party BuySellAds ad placement services, and is using my banner ad space right now. That said, I did create this article and all VMUG Advantage videos independently, and VMUG Advantage had no say in their content.

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
