We're aware of the end of support statements for ESX 3.x environment and as you've tested vSphere 4.0 has been really good for past 3 months without any reverse effects after rigorous testings. I have vSphere roll out to test environment and should be migrate to vSphere within 1-2 months time frame since its been validated and tested. Its a matter of time and collaboration with other business units such as storage, networking, security and dba since they all have direct influence how to re-architect the environment especially using Cisco Nexus 1000V and vShield Zone. I'm seeing migration next 3 months max at this point but working on planning or at least you should play and test it in a lab for sure. I'm sure 3 more months SRM, View and Lab Manager should be ready for primetime with vSphere 4.0 that's our time line.
