Fault Tolerance originated from the record and replay feature developers at VMware first shipped with Workstation, FT will probably be expanded to be able to prevent or to do automatic fast recovers i.e. blue screens.

Richard also mentioned vCenter ConfigControl that is will become available in 2010. vCenter ConfigControl is an application that tracks changes in your virtual environment.
From the VMware site:

vCenter ConfigControl automatically discovers configurations, dependencies and compliance across your environment, including all virtual configuration elements. This intelligence puts historical and real-time data at your fingertips with powerful search, modeling and contextual visualization.

Last but not least Richard pointed us to the new VMware knowledge base TV (VMware KBTV) where you can watch video instructions on the KB topic…
