I'm also curious what people think the best option would be? I tend to go for "shutdown vm".

Hi Depping..

We've just upgraded our test enviroment from U1 to U2.... The default isolation responce hasn't changed here....
Did you do a clean install?

Any one noticed this already, but the default Isolation Response changed from "Power Off" to "Leave powered on"! And VMware added a new option, a highly anticipated one "Shutdown VM", a clean and nice shutdown when the host isolates.

Still I'm wondering why the default Isolation response changed. Anyone has a clue?
