I'm very happy with Hyper-V for small environments. I've got a few clusters under my watch and it's okay. It's certainly not as rock-solid as ESXi, but it would do the job in a lot of the small vSphere environments. Having live migration and replication "in the box" w/o additional licensing expense is nice. I really like the PowerShell applets for Hyper-V. I find them more well thought-out than PowerCLI. I do nearly all of my Hyper-V admin work at the command line.
