As far as I can tell, yes.. I think the announcement was something in the lines of "as of ESXi 8.0 update 3s" or something, and they're now on "update 3w").

I would agree with you there. If I were ever to snag up some new hardware, I'd most likely switch also. But the fact that I'm already running ESXi 6.5 update 1, I figured I'd try an easy upgrade to the shiny new stuff without having to migrate my VMs or anything. I was severely disappointed, though.

I have no issues with ESXi 6.5 except some quirky shit I can get around (as easy as refreshing the page) in the web GUI, so I'll stick with it for the remainder of this server's lifespan, which could be awhile yet unless I come across something for the right price. ;)

Regards,
Nick
