In particular, support has been added for the following operating systems: - Windows 7 Enterprise (32-bit and 64-bit) - Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit) - Windows 7 Professional (32-bit and 64-bit) - Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit and 64-bit) - Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition (64-bit) - Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition (64-bit) - Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter Edition (64-bit) - Windows 2008 R2 Web Server (64-bit) - Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 (32-bit and 64bit) - Ubuntu Server 9.04 (32-bit and 64bit)
let me remind you that unlike ESXi 4.0, ESXi 3.5 is based on a 32-bit kernel, and can be used to turn a relatively old hardware server into virtualization. For people with 64-bit processors, it’s best to use ESXi 4.0.
