At my company our desktop standard is Windows XP. For some time I've been running the "corporate desktop" within a VM. I wanted to leverage the a 64bit OS for the host OS. I selected Fedora 64bit (FC5, 6, now 7) as the host as we are also a big RHEL shop. My background is more Windows so the experience would be good for ESX and RHEL.
I recently upgraded to the beta version of 6.5 and though the unity interface is still a bit buggy, boy is it cool. It really does blur the presentation layer.
The biggest caviat I've found with the beta version of 6.5 is speed. VMWare enables full debug logging on all beta releases. So it's significantly slower than 6.0 is. I have no doubt this will change in the full release though.
