I think that is a good use of local storage IMHO (I don’t do anything locally for the hosts).

I’ve heard rumors about your first three wishes. Your last two are unique concepts to me. For a LUN to span storage protocols it would require ESX to either support NTFS on FC or VMFS on NFS – interesting possibilities. A VM Recycle Bin would be convenient, but not sure if the extra storage space would be worth it?!

I think that is the next milestone, and am excited with what will be teased next week.

Some dreamy ideas on my late night wish list:

-grid virtualization (distributed resources across hosts for a VM)
-co-hosting of a VM (like marathon)
-new pricing model
-VMFS4 enhancement – maybe a virtual LUN accessible across types (NFS and FC)
-VM recycle bin
