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

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?! Rick,

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 I am hoping samplings and nibbles of “VI4″ will be available.
