I fail to see you logic, please elaborate on that. Why should I care what 5 other people are running when I get a better bang for my buck with a technology I use, costs less and provides me a means to contribute back into the community pool.

You use the VIC client, which does not require the VIC server but can
connect directly to any ESX/ESXi host.  After you install ESXi you
navigate to the box with a web browser and there is a link to download
VIC directly from the host.

yes, but there is technology shortcomings there, it requires me to invest in Windows as a base OS, which in turn means a lot of other legal and vendor lock in issues.



Agreed - I hate the fact the the VIC only runs on Windows.
There is AFAIK, an experimental GUI from a 3rd-party using Adobe AIR - but even without trying it (AIR doesn't run on my 64bit desktop anyway...) I hesitate to call this a "solution"....
;-)
VMware is very Windows-centric. They do know that they have a customer- base that in part absolutely hates this - but from what I read on the forums, it's not an immediate concern to them.
And above all, the stupid VIC is slow as a snail.
