I agree, its just the Cloud Computing thing, that really doesn't need to be emphasized, just tell us the new features in Enterprise (Which we use) and well move on along.
Been doing ESX for about 4+ years now, and definitely has been a game changer, utilize the snap-shot functionality for all my patching and testing and have definitely saved my bacon 100's of times over...

It does take a bit to wrap your head around it, take a look @ the pricing guide which actually breaks it down a little better. While it's confusing they have done a better job of packaging it and hitting lower SMB's with some good features and prices. Plus the extras coming for us that have the Enterprise version is very cool I have being doing VMware since they started for around 9 years now, and It does get more confusing every year license wise, but I can't knock the product it's top notch.

I am no VMware expert, we are just joining the party. We have one box running about six small systems on VMware. My initial look at the product and what to get resulted in several days of cleaning the walls in my office from when my head exploded. Most confusing product offering evar! They get extra points for making a website that leads you off into an maze of confusing information quicker than Cisco's. ________________________________________ From: Ziots, Edward [ezi...@lifespan.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 4:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: What is Vmware thinking? http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/ As an Avid Fan of Vmware and big user of the technology, it seems they are going the market, and mass confusion route to though something that is no further along than Vaporware. Eight different offers for ESX? Are they taking a licensing tip from M$ trying to generate more revenue under the guise of Cloud computing? Does anyone in the ESX server space see this in a different light than I am seeing it as first read?
