        <description><![CDATA[I have a VMware Desktop running on Windows 7 64 Bit with 10 GB of Ram. I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise running and also Windows 2008 R2 Web Server. I also have Virtual Box installed and decided to load Chrome OS which did not impress me. I would like to get ESXi but it would not install for some reason can not remember error. The machine I am running this on is Dell M6400 Laptop, and I would like to maybe use and experiment with provisioning with a 2 TB external drive. Anybody have comments more the merrier. I am also going to read all comments to see where I might have made a mistake. Thanks.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I've had problems in the past running domain controllers on VMware 1.0.5, running on top of Windows Server 2003.  Specifically, there have been serious time sync problems, to the point where we had to decommission the DC and set up a new one on dedicated hardware.Have you had any problems like this with ESXi?Thanks!Mark]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As stated, this software is not meant to run inside another VM; it is designed to run on server grade host hardware. Running ESXi inside another VM is only good for checking out its features, not for harnessing its awesome power.Because the ESXi Hypervisor is free and not trialware, I have installed it on many servers as a way for small businesses to have multiple server OS's running out of one box.I also use it at my university to run domain controllers, database servers, and number crunching applications.The most exciting part about ESXi (to me) is that it only occupies 80 MB of hard drive space on the host hard drive, as apposed to 5GB for Windows Hyper-V.If you or your customer can only afford one physical server, ESXi is the way to go.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Last year I was playing with this and I tried to install a virtual ESXi with VMServer running on Windows XP SP3.After tweaking the config file, the installation went very well and smooth. I had the ESXi running.But it was when I started using the vSphere client that I realised the poor performance it had. I created a couple of VMs over the virtual ESXi but they were literally useless to do anything with them. Maybe it was my hardware, not powerful enough.At the end of the day, its good for playing around and getting hands over the software, maybe to practice for the VCP, but thats about it.Anyway, good article.]]></description>
