Isn't it the case that it's relatively difficult to port from *any* 
hypervisor to another -- KVM to Xen, Xen to VirtualBox, VB to Hyper-V, 
Hyper-V to VMWare?  I guess that's probably only for Windows, really... 
Can you give me an example of some features from VMWare's HV that might 
promote vendor lock-in, over and above the simple fact that the emulated 
HW in different?
Obviously vendor lock-in is something people should be aware of; it's 
likely that VMWare will try it, but probably likely that Amazon and 
Rackspace will try it as well - just not with the hypervisor.
