I don't think they "made it" that way, it has always dropped support for older hardware at certain versions. I just didn't know about that until now because I installed ESXi 6.5 some 12+ years ago now, and never felt the need to upgrade until I saw an announcement that it was free again. :)

Either way, I agree. I have Proxmox running in a Virtualbox VM just to mess around with for now so I'm not a deer in headlights when I get some new hardware and actually put it to work. I will be making the switch, I just don't know when. There's no need to change anything on my current server as by now it's old and fragile. ;)

Regards,
Nick
