Definitely a great idea!

As an engineer for a VMware partner, we sell solutions with new servers and VMware every month. Integrating VMware ESX into the server on a flash drive would have a couple of obvious benefits:
1. Shorter install time. True, installing ESX isn't the time consuming part (it's the config and VM import), but it would save probably an hour/server.
2. Power reduction. If it's on a flash drive, we no longer need a Raid 1 array of local disks for the ESX OS. We can boot ESX off flash and store the VMs on a SAN.
