Broadcom in talks to buy VMware: multiple reports

Broadcom is in early talks to buy VMware, according to The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Reuters. VMware is not commenting on the matter. This one is interesting, because the three sources we’ve linked to above all say they’ve got the news from “a person familiar with the matter.” All say the deal is nowhere near done, a price has not been discussed, and a transaction is far from certain to happen.
