Re: [PLUG] IT: VMware ESXi Available For Free Starting Today



virtual center on my xp ws works fine.
i can see valid arguments for vmware or xen.
we are going vmware in a big way.
experiencing resistance from people invested in the status quo,
and vendors lacking vmware knowledge/experience with their app.
i would be interested in people with similar experiences, and how they overcame these hurdles.

Good food for thought -
especially since we are looking @ virtualization big time for a new  
project.
