XenServer vs ESXi

Well I didn't say they had it, I just wouldn't say they "don't have a T3 support number"
If I did then I'd be lying.

I always get advice from my staff and encourage them to tell me I'm an idiot and explain why. But at the end of the day the buck stops with me. I don't expect them to always agree with me, but I wouldn't be happy if they took that to my boss.
I'm of the opposite opinion, I prefer to not have management block upward concerns. I'm not a manager, but when I am I like companies that encourage people to take their concerns "up the stack." Not in a sneaky way but in a "we don't agree, let's take this up a layer and see what someone higher up thinks of our concerns."
Yeah I like this too. Though there does have to be a point where it does stop, and that's probably below the CEO or the Board.

I would say it depends. If you truly believe the CEO is sabotaging the company, you should go to the board. If you truly believe the board is, go to the investors. Make sure you are confident when you go to that level, though.

Yeah, that might not be worth the effort and you'd be better off just finding another job. Upsetting the board by going to the investors will probably just end with you not having a job. Unless the investors beat them to it by firing the board.

Depends if you have any faith in them.

I'm sorry, in who?

The "layer" to which you are escalating. If you have faith that the CEO has the interest of the company at heart and just does not understand what is happening, then go to him. If the CEO is hurting the company for his own interests but you believe the board truly doesn't know and is just confused, go to them, etc. But if you have no reason to believe that they care, don't take the risk.

That's what I was saying, just not as eloquent as you.

Any reason why only these two options are being considered? If you already have HyperV, should that not be on the list of consideration as well?

Because the MSP screwed it up and now no one there likes it most likely.
Also, regarding the original topic, I would stick with Xen and dump the MSP

Makes sense. I'm not saying that it is a good choice, but seems worthy of inclusion in an evaluation.
