Well... I just hope it gets cheaper and/or licensing becomes easier.
At work, among our infrastructure are just two servers that I really want to get FT working on... the foundation packs don't seem to cover FT, so, it is a jump up to two server licenses + 1 VCenter license at over 10k in total!
There is such a jump from their starter kits to the full thing if you just want a couple of features!
New VMware is probably more expensive than old vmware and it's expensive enough already. Every portrayed advantage of virtualisation is not cost effective when you have to pay their extortionate prices. Xen/KVM and HyperV have a serious advantage.
For ref, I currently have to babysit a large vsphere installation (44 hosts) and it's a money pit.
