Why?

Why?
To attempt forming a monopolistic platform that they can further develop as a "solution".
Or more simply, because they believe it'll increase their profits.

Yeah, seems weird. VMware is all about enterprise and production. Bitnami is all about hobby and non-production. Seems like an oil and water purchase. We would never allow Bitnami in production, it's purpose is apps for people who can't install a server - e.g. never okay for production. Seems insane that VMware would want any association with Bitnami.

Easy. Either they have had enough feedback that they think people want it and it will earn them more profits. Or They simply think it will turn a fast profit on the buzz and they hwant to cash in on it. Or they want the developers behind it and don't care baout the product itself.
