I just obtained mine last week. And my vcp # is 25xxx. So there are over 25 thousand now.

Unfortunately, you can't rely on that. When VCP 3.x was released, VMware jumped the VCP numbers, starting at (if I remember correctly) 10,000 for the first VCP3. At that time, there were significantly fewer than 10,000 VCP2s. Plus, VMware has said in the past that the VCP number is not a valid indication of how many VCPs there are in the world. So...I guess that the real number is somewhere between 20K and 25K (or not!).
