By making their cloud infrastructure smarter about the applications running on that infrastructure, VMWare could regain their leadership position. Either way, this shows that the cloud market will disrupt not just the deployment but also the development side of IT. Which is of course what we at WaveMaker have been saying all along ;-) VMWare should be one of the cloud leaders and find themselves a bit more of cloud laggards.

I believe the projects will continue as open source, and that SpringSource/VMWare will continue to contribute. But I also think the "open source" business model will go by the wayside. We saw the beginning of this even prior to the acquisition with SpringSource's release of several closed source projects. I doubt that VMWare will become an "open source company" any more than Oracle or IBM is. I agree with you – this acquisition is not about open source.
