Fraser,

As far as I am aware of, the research community is forced to benchmark
against Workstation 3.x because the EULA in later versions prevents
anyone from publishing benchmarking numbers. Look at the Restrictions
section in the EULA at <http://www.vmware.com/download/ws4_eula.html>
for Workstation 4.x. I am sure its the same for ESX.
