There was a good article at infoworld last month with the basics.

You need a San for the most part if you want to reap the benefits of ESX.
Here is a good one by Paul Thurrot also

And while this is an older article it is pretty good also.

One cool thing about ESX that MS does not have is there is a piece you can get
that you can move live VM's over to another Server running it in real time if
you need to take the physical hardware down and never miss a beat.
Once I get the new website together... virtualize-it.com I will have all these
links in place and find all I can.
It is interesting to note a search on google of VMware versus Virtual Server
brings up posts from this list. I think we are probably some of the key people
on the web discussing it.

I'm aware that the ESX to VS2005 comparison is not really valid but
since we are recommending ESX we are being asked to provide a written
response as to why VS2005 is not the recommendation. I was just hoping
to have something to start with.

There are some documents out there comparing GSX to VS2005, and
Workstation to VPC2005. You cannot compare ESX to any MS product, as
of right now.
You can contact your local VMware Partner, and they can get you that
documentation.
