What is a "socket" in their pricing model? The word can mean so many different things...
Afaik it refers to a physical cpu socket. So they count actual cpu's, not the amount of cores in each cpu.
I was just asking myself this very question the other day, and I couldn't determine how many sockets you are using if you use, say, 2 _virtual_ processors.
in newer VMware versions (Workstation 7/8) you can assign virtual CPUs and cores per virtual CPU, i guess VMware ESXi 5 will have this feature too, but not my nested vm is currently not running and production will stay on ESXi 4.1 for some time....
