Our most-read story will be obvious to anyone in the industry. It involves a major, multibillion-dollar acquisition that stunned the channel. The opinions surrounding the deal are mixed. Read on to find out what partners had to say about Broadcom buying VMware.

Then, Edward Gately, senior news editor at Channel Futures, posed a somewhat controversial question to his sources at a company roundtable. He asked: Is ransomware good for business? Readers may find some of the answers surprising from the experts. We particularly liked Proofpoint SVP Joe Sykora’s response.
