It's 2015 and VMware tools break VMs if you open two browser tabs

Lucky VMware don't run a public cloud service, that could get really embarrassing if there were customers using it.

And then there's this one:

"In VMware vRealize Automation, the hard disks are removed unexpectedly when reconfiguring a virtual machine that has RDM disks (2124657)"

So vClud Air, the VMware Cloud has similar bug

Get them whilst they're H-O-T kids, similar to identical bugs have been seriously fucking with me the last few weeks. I thought at first it was Chrome which did it the most, but Firefox can also have it happen. The shite vSphere browser app is where I think the bug is, but as most of their stuff uses Adobe Flash(the Ebola Virus of browser plugins) it may be some strange interaction.

Whatever the hell it is, it's worse when combined with ESXi instances and you don't even have to invoke vMotion workloads to trigger it. BANG - all of a sudden it's either browser lockup or vSphere browser client barfing all over itself.

Whatever it is, it's damn tiring to have to click, save, click, save and I'm disappointed in VMware for not catching this. I can't wait until I have to upgrade this weekends vCenter 6.

VMware? Really?

So, I'm using trial versions of vsphere this month to spin up my Azure cloud which I'll migrate to afterwards. I don't deploy VMware in production anymore because it's just too damn unreliable. It's like they spread themselves too thin and they don't even know which product does what or even what it's called anymore.

With KVM and Hyper-V both being "feature complete", why would anyone depend on VMware anymore... except for hack and slash vsphere client crap IT work.
