vSphere 6 License Changes

During my latest pre-sales engagement I was asked to lay out the vSphere License feature comparison.

A you can see below VMware has decided to get rid of the Enterprise License and also have got rid of the vSOM Standard and Enterprise. (At lease not mentioned in www.vmware.com)

I personally hate when changes happen, as we have to keep tab on this time and time again.
