I would like to know Exact Footprint size for ESXi 5.0
I can see in some documents it is 144MB, Official training it is mentioned lessthan 70MB ... and in blogs... 32MB
Official Documents says it is 144 MB

ESXi 3.5 started at 32 MB, but the code base has grown in size through 4.x and 5.

ESXi 3.5 = 32 MB
ESXi 4.x = ~ 70 MB
ESXi 5.0 = 144 MB
But note that this is not the amount of memory consumed by the hypervisor and not the disk space needed, but the size of the compressed main os image.
Hi dhabbetichand

Its variable, its minmum 32 to max 144 mb.

Actually it is fixed, depending on the hypervisor version.
With more updates, fixes, new drivers and function it will likely be larger than 144 MB.
