We (and I know a few others too) are even not moving to version 10 just because they can no longer be managed by the client. I think it's a major mistake that VMware made this decision and doesn't seem to be listeing to what customers are sayng about it.
Is anyone from VMware reading along? Can someone do the effort to post a reaction? What are the plans for the future in this regard? For me it's the biggest downside of the vSphere solution at this moment.
