We did both. We went to IBM Bladecenters, and went with ESX. We have
consolidated our entire data center (200+ servers) to 2 racks. We used a
Physical-to-Virtual program (Platespin) to image the machines and make the
migration nearly painless. The only servers left on physical machines are
ones that have PCI cards that won't work in blades, or big huge honkin'
servers we haven't gotten to yet... We're moving Exchange as we do our 5.5
-> 2003 upgrade.

With blades you can take advantage of the hardware. With ESX your buying
REALLY big servers to get the same amount of power per VM as the blades. If
your planning on supporting a lot of users, then I would go blades. VMWare
just isn't designed to handle a large amount of users in a VM. You give up
power because of the virtualization.
