Yes and VirtualBox, VirtualPC, Hyper-V, UML, Parallels, KVM, etc. etc.

Well you *were* saying that ESXi was poor on at least the issue of its 
disk throughput (from your own experiences, at least). We were just 
providing some counterweight to the argument ;-)

We have :o)

However, we chose ESX over Xen (VMware ESX != VMware ESXi btw - differs 
on lots of things).

To each his/her own, and I do think this doesn't really belong on this 
list other than the general comment that (para)virtualization in general 
provides an excellent platform for gameservers; something we all seem to 
agree on! :-)
