also the advantage of a highly effective user interface for managing fhe
virtual environment which is sorely lacking in Hyper V unless you deploy
System Center.
I currently work with over 20 non profits running about 50 servers on the
free VMWare ESXi platform without any issue. And to be able to use the free
VMWare conversion tool to perform physical to virtual migration and virtual
to virtual migrations is just another list of bonuses.

Bo,
I am assuming the extra expense for VMware is because your consultant is
recommending vSphere. My question would be does your organization require
all of the features vSphere provides, such as high availability or vMotion?
One option would be to look into ESXi, also from VMware, which is currently
free. If need be, those features I mentioned can be licensed for your
environment.
Also, from personal experience I have found the claim that VMware is more
stable than Hyper-V to be true.
