ESXi is completly isolated except the "backdoor" to communicate
between guest and hypervisor (VMware HA, memory-ballooning)

nearly all big software vendors are certifying for VMware
(Microsoft, Oracle....) and even "hardware-appliances" are
available for VMware:

in fact ESXi is a own kernel
VMkernel esx.thelounge.net 4.1.0 #1 SMP Release build-800380 Aug  2 2012
