I agree. However KVM isnt here yet, does not work that well and does not
have anywhere near the momentum / userbase that Xen has today. So while
I totally agree KVM is quite cool, I am not giving up on my Xen installs
quite yet. Besides, who knows what the future holds :D there might even
be something to top KVM, like a hypervisor in the bios of the machine...
hey, isnt that where this started from in the first place!
And keep in mind that you cant even install KVM in a stable supported
setup today. A situation that is looking quite unlikely to change for a
while yet.
