http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2010/07/introducing-vmware-sphere-hypervisor-41-the-free-edition-of-vmware-vsphere-41.html 07/13/2010 Introducing VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.1 - the free edition of VMware vSphere 4.1 Why the name change? As the volume of downloads indicates, since its initial availability "Free ESXi" (I should say VMware vSphere Hypervisor) has been an extremely popular way for companies to get started with virtualization. Unfortunately, though, its name - especially in its more commonly used abbreviated versions, "VMware ESXi" or "free ESXi" - has become source of confusion and misinterpretations of actual capabilities. In an effort to improve the situation, we decided to introduce the new name, VMware vSphere Hypervisor, which we believe better describes the nature of the product and how it relates to the other vSphere editions.
