Hello,

The major differences:

VMsafe now available
vShield Zones now available
ESX Service Console went from 2.4 Kernel to 2.6 Kernel (with different linux settings), etc.
PVLAN support with Distributed Switch

Outside of that, they have added some more per VM options.

There are some new items, but the rules you know for VMware VI3 still apply. Nothing has really changed that much within the virtual environment. Just need to account for the newer features.
