What's new and different in VI 3.5

Mike Laverick has done it again. He has written a great guide about the new features of VI 3.5. Take a look here for download links.

A couple of things I learned from the guide that I did not read anywhere else:

Virtual disks can now be enlarged from VI Client. No need for vmkfstools.
Power-on boot delay for guests and an option to boot directly in the BIOS after a guest reboot.
You can set a static MAC address for a guest from the VI Client.
The new datastore browser allows you to upload files to and from the datastore.
You can configure time synch with NTP from VI Client.

There is much more in the guide so I urge you to read it. Great stuff and thanks Mike!!!
