When I got a server with too much RAM for the free version of ESXi
that limit was rescinded in August. ESXI 5.5 is now free for unlimited memory. about the only restriction is max 8 CPU cores per VM.
Figures... I think I built those in June or so. Anyway, while the VMware console client is somewhat slicker I don't see any functional reason to change back - KVM runs them just the same.
I ran (in my previous job) four Windows 2008 server VMs, two Windows XP VMs, and one Windows 7 VM on KVM with CentOS-5.x as the base OS. I did not have any major issues .. but I did not try to do things like USB connections, etc.
I run, on Centos 6.5, a headless Virtualbox system with phpVirtualbox which runs:
17 Centos 6.5 Systems 1 Windows 7 System 1 FreeBSD System
Works a treat, the hardware is a dual Quad core Xeon system with 96GB of RAM. Not had any problems with CPU over-subscription.
