We are finishing up with our test environment and already have one production server in play. Why? Mostly cost. Hyper-V is significantly cheaper in the ROI model than VMWARE. Second, is accessibility. ESX is not accessible for most people and does require some Linux knowledge to tune. Most of my shop in WinTel. Microsoft has been good to us. We've been a part of the beta and I love what I've seen and experienced so far. Windows 2008 server is a superior upgrade and Hyper-V is on par with most products I've tested.
