HI,

you can use e.g. here VMware Workstation.

No. ESX is bare-metal hypervisor, it can't be run under Windows.

If you want to run some private virtual machines either install ESX directly on harware or install VMware Server 2 under Windows.

No as ESX is not a hosted virtualization product but a bare metal virtualization.

You can use VMware Server or VMware Workstation if you need to keep the host OS.
