You can for sure run one VM with XP and another with Server 2008 on ESXi. We're using ESXi for our clusters... works a treat. For just playing around tho, I'd use a "desktop" type of deal, instead of ESXi, as you're going to have to drop into the "hidden" ESXi console to do much cool stuff (like copying virtual machines, standing up existing images, etc.). They *really* want you to upgrade to their pro tools, basically. Which are mind-blowing, BTW-- but not cheap. =] -- To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
