I just noticed that you said <<a VM can be cloned when it s powered on.>>>
I guess this is Vmotion.
Template :Can't be customized. Correct?
Clone: Can be customized (I am not sure about Vista if can be customized)

in either case, creating a template or cloning, does it do sysprep for the new machine, since we don't want to have the same GUID or same IP address as the source machine?

thanks guys
it gives you 2 option :
-Deploy a VM from this template
-Convert to VM
a bit of confusion there.
