The VMTN subscription was great. For $299 a year you got to use almost all products in a lab environment. The problem I always have with evaluations is having time to do the eval. It amy be a couple days here and there. Specifically with Vmware back in 2004, we were evaluating ESX. That worked out well so we decided to evaluate Virtual Center .... but then, the 60 day on ESX would expire. Then we'd try something else and the VC trial would expire. The VMTN subscription was a way for us to get comfortable with the product. We were able to start virtualizing years sooner than we would have without the VMTN. Now, we have 60+ hosts 700+ VMs.
