Poll: How long will you wait to upgrade to ESX 3?

There's a lot of buzz in the industry about VMware's ESX 3 - or Virtual Infrastructure 3... And there's a lot of people currently using ESX 2.x. When I got started with VMware ESX, 2.5.0 was the going version. I was surprised to see how many people were still using versions earlier than 2.5. Even now that is not at all uncommon. People don't want to change - or better yet, fix what isn't broken.

I think this will all change with the release of VI3. There are so many new features like High Availablilty, Distributed Resource Scheduler and Consolidated Backup... The changes from early 2 to 2.5 were just not that exciting. These new features, however, are rocking the industry. So, this begs the question (thanks to an anonomous comment):
