I use VMWare vSphere Client to access Windows 7 VM from Windows XP host.
In Virtualbox, with guest additions enabled, in Win-Win machines pair, I had by default the dynamic screen resolution adaptation in the guest (i.e. whenever I resize the window of VM, it internally changes resolution to whatever obscure resolution just to fit the window size, e.g. 1246×517).
Is this achievable with vSphere Client (I have 5.0 version)? I have guest additions, but I only can choose from pre-defined resolutions.

You're dealing with two different classes of products here. Virtualbox is a desktop virtualization system, and ESXi is a server virtualization system. As such, the VMware vSphere client is not really meant to be used for heavy day-to-day operations. You'll find performance to be significantly better if you enable remote desktop on the Windows 7 VM and connect via an RDP client.
