Do you still have the esx-2.5.5-57619.iso in your personal archives? Do you think you can share it somewhere, or I give you access to ftp? I need 2.5 for some really old machines that can’t run 3.0. I don’t need any licenses, I still got them from years ago.

7-zip handles cpio just fine – you just have to navigate through the directory hierarchy.

Thanks… Although the next fun thing is dealing with CPIO stuff on Windows… Plus it's also interesting to see how far ESX can go on Qemu.

Regarding opening RPM files on Windows: 7-zip should be able to do it (you'll see a cpio archive inside, and you can open that cpio in 7-zip as well).
