From a technical aspect, VMware outperformed the MS product everytime. In fact, out of the box, VMware is much easier to configure during setup than the MS product is. Why is that? Yes, it could be that that VMware released it API to the world or it could be that VMware has been in the virtual business a lot longer than Microsoft has. If I were evaluating a product from either of these companies, I would definitely be concerned about the length of time that either company has been successful with this technology. Let's see where MS is in a few years with virtualization.

No Microsoft are not vetrians and they are after a different sector of the market but I am tired of hearing about vmware and how great it is when I have to buy the highest version just to get live migration (lets not even go into central management) things that every other player does for free! Yes if you are runnign a large datacentre with multiple sites etc and millions in budget then go ahead but if you have a few physical servers then vmware is a stupid decision. I used hyper-v and am now on xen as I needed more functionally before r2 was available. Oh and as for the api funny how I can live migrate between hyper-v and xenserver hosts no problem etc. We all know that vmware has no intention of addressing the small market. just the fact that it has taken this long to get load ballanced iscsi shows that. I dont dislike vmware I am just saying it is for a different market! Finally someone is bold enough to stand up and speak.
