ESXi is at v4... which I think is the free version of the guts of what it vSphere...
-sc From: tony patton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 11:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: SPAM Solution Used to do it with vmware server on the desktop, but with only 2Gig ram is was a bit slow at times. Love ESXi, it's a lot easier, pity they wouldn't do a free version of vCentre/vSphere or whatever its called this week for home use. Makes moving VM's a hell of a lot easier, not to mention templating VMs. My VM's are mostly linux based with a couple of evals of server 2003 which get trashed regularly, just as handy to rebuild when I need them. 1 xp vm that came with the PC, technically it's still running on the pc that it came with, not sure about legally, and 2 w7 rc vm's. I'm always trying to increase my knowledge on various topics and the ESXi box allows me to do it easily. Think it's time for a technet plus subscription shortly, then I can really play.
