This is the one issue that I think Microsoft has a legitimate leg up on VMware, and if VMW doesn't change its stance, it will stand to lose a number of long standing customers as they are either forced into buy suboptimal servers to stay within their ELA or as Scott says be forced into a $295 upgrade fee per license. Renegogiating the ELA after the fact? vSphere 5 might be out before that....

The other benefits of a Enterprise Plus don't hold as much angst as this cores per socket issue. The good news is it is still theoretical issue without 8/12/16 core processors on the market. VMW could indeed do the right thing like they did in 2005 when dual cores came out.

I'm really, REALLY looking forward to the Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) support in Windows 2008 R2! That's going to be one kick-@$$ feature! :)
