    It will be probably more. I talked with sysadmin from some smaller provider in my country few months ago. And he told me that the migration will take them for most systems about 2 years (depreciation of hardware) and for some machines about 5 years.

    So lot of customers are in process of replacing it but it will take multiple years.

      yep, my employer is one of them. Only around 200 VMs but my former employer (an MSP with several hundred customers, among them the administration of the city I live in, all schools, all kindergartens and the church) was also in the process of migrating when I switched.

        My friend who works at an MSP said they’re migrating most of their customers to HyperV, but these are mostly extremely small companies with a dozen or so employees and only a handful of services

      I used to work for a company that made software built on VMware. The biggest customer was using hundreds of thousands of VMs. Pretty sure they’re working on moving off VMware now because of all this bullshit.

      But yeah, it’s gonna take a long time to move off.
