Small to medium sized businesses don't have to pay a lot for good hypervisors and virtualization tools these days. Free tools like Microsoft's Hyper-V, Red Hat's KVM, and Citrix's XenServer are popular with small to medium IT departments. In an effort to compete with these free tools, VMware just released VMware Go, a free service for managing the VMware ESXi embedded hypervisors (including ESX Server 3i, ESXi 3.5, and ESXi 4.0), which are also free. After the beta testing period, which started last summer and included over 1,000 testers, SMBs now have
another option for cheaply running multiple operating systems and applications on a single server.

VMware's free tools always have funny lags compared to their commercial versions (I really think it is an ugly play).
