I am curious to know if you are using VMware now & don't like or want to use the latest ESXi 5, or is this something new for the company? I am refurbing a recently decommissioned HP ml370 G5, and I was planning/thinking actually about giving vShpere 5 a try. Just curious what the motivation behind this is. Thanks! Bob
