esxi != esx.  they're very different products.  (and even esxi requires
more hardware for the same job.)

the attaction for many people to using esx is that many it departments
have it.  they don't have esxi.

esxi is also close to the worst of both worlds.  all the complications
of virtualization, without what i see as the real benefit—vmotion.
(live migration.)
