We're having a discussion here about Hyper-V and vmware. Am I right in thinking that ESX and Hyper-V are competing technologies and it is not possible or desirable to run hyper-v on a box virtualized on ESX? Is this because the machines vmware emulates do not have virtualized implementations of the process virtualization support?

The short answer is SCVMM.
It's a product Microsoft makes for expanded management of Hyper-V VMs, however it has a very nice web portal that can have permissions delegated down to the individual VM level if desired. Start, restart, pause, and Snapshot are some of the capabilities that can be delegated. The one you're most concerned about is Console access through RDC and it can be allowed through the web portal as well.
You should see this screen in the MVMC for the destination path for the converted VM. Create a shared folder on your desired storage location and select it in the conversion wizard.

Yes, Hyper-V and VMware ESX are competing technologies. I don't think there's anything preventing you from running one on top of the other (you can run VMware on a machine that does not support hardware virtualization), but I don't know why you would want to.
