Hi ScubaRob - I see your account is new, did you possibly make a mistake when accepting the solution and assigning points?

I correctly answered your question within 38 minutes of your post and solved your problem.  I believe my post should be marked as the solution and assigned the 500 points that you had tagged to your question.  Instead, it looks like you marked your comment as the solution and only assigned 40 points (20 points to each of my comments) ??

Thanks.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
