One of my customers is paying vmware tons of money to run vSphere. It's really nice to work with the vCenter tools and I was definitely enjoying this product until I found it doesn't allow me to add virtual disk on the fly while the virtual instance was running. It says "License not available to perform the operation, Feature hotplug not licensed, requires need have have". Not sure what the last sentence is but hey my XenServer 5.5 can do that hotplug feature already and it's FREE.
Just one more reason that I switched to XenServer, Citrix official also told the media that they are gonna open source the whole suite of the software. That will be great for the virtualization community so let's keep a close watch on that.
