    ESXi is now VMvisor!? Or am I missing something?
    If so: Wow! Great improvement! Not only one step forward, 10 at least would say!

    You're definitely missing something and its probably been awhile since you've downloaded ESXi ... because the _filename_ has ALWAYS been "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-X.Y.Z-BuildNumber" where X.Y.Z is the semantic version (e.g. 8.0.3) for more than a decade plus, going back to when ESXi was first introduced back in early 3.x days. If anything else, since there's only ESXi (no classic ESX), I know internal folks tend to just say ESX as the "i" isn't relavent as its always ESXi but no name change
