Actually here you demonstrate that you don't know much about VI3 at all.
"or figure out how to move images around from server to server"
Hmmm, right click on the VM in Virtual Center, select Migrate, choose the destination ESX host, then OK. The VM then moves without shutting down.
To Windows admins this is like miracle.
I don't think you get what ESX and VI3 are all about.
Everyone is doing this. I'm doing it right now for several clients, from high schools to insurance companies.
Organizations that are choose (or are forced) to run Windows are jumping all over themselves to implement VI3, because it gives them control! VI3 is not about scaling performance to ridiculously high levels, it's about removing the direct link between a server and the hardware that it is running on.
Migrations, DR, server consolidation, saving space and power in the datacentre, being able to deploy new servers in minutes. These are all things that Administrators of Windows systems have been forced to struggle with, and VI3 is providing a very good solution to these problems.
