Morning Discussion
Don't even get me started about the bins and that tuna music everyone's listening to! Because that's just the sort of thing old people say, isn't it? Isn't it just!

REPOST FOR MR:
Virtualbox is up to version 3.1, sports a 30% speed increase and now supports live migration!

Also, VMWare Player 3.0 is free, supports hardware virtualization and all that jazz. Now can create VMs from scratch and manage a library of them. Support for Aero in Windows Vista and 7.
Does not have support for snapshots or live migration, however.

No you are correct, they are moving to KVM in the long term.

But the performance is supposed to be extremely similar for KVM vs. Xen, with the caveat that KVM will only run on processors which have virtualization extensions (all modern processors)
I found this from 2008: http://virt.kernelnewbies.org/XenVsKVM
and keep in mind that KVM is growing in leaps and bounds since most linux vendors agree it is the Way Forward.. you should look again, things have probably changed alot since you last evaluated them-

Xen was there at one point before Citrix made it more household along with Red Hat at the Enterprise level.
Again I'm sure it's a fine product, it looks like simple product to work with and in terms of Virt you definitely want to deploy as quickly as possible. Being able to turn around a full server in less than 20-30 mins is a goal and probably with a few shell script you could do it as easily as you can with Xen.
