You missed the news, ESX as it used to be is no more, 4.1 was the last
release. ESXi is the thing people use now. The "enterprise" feature os
ESX that were unavailable in ESXi are in a VMware Infrastructure
(VSphere/VMotion).

VMotion is now simply an add-on product to ESXi, but yes, I agree with
your point.
