But the ESXi version isn't exactly fair to someone who would deploy on the hardware intended. Also, the restriction to 1 CPU isn't built-in - there's a place where you select the number of CPUs you will use when you are registering for the free license. I don't know what the actual maximum is, but it is at least 2 with a fairly large number of cores.
I'm running the free ESXI on a 4-socket (single core opteron) server, no problems with the licensing, and I don't recall it asking how many cores per socket, just how many sockets.
