VMware ESXi Version and Build Number Reference
Sometimes it can be hard to tell the version and update number of an ESXi instance. As such I thought it would be good to catalogue what I know here.

Update 21/03/2015
Working out the build to product version was always troublesome. The list above started because I needed to know the level vSphere clients and converters were at.
While browsing around this morning I have come across a post in the VMware Knowledge Base, so we now have a full and official list.
