VMware ESX is a bit expensive but works really well and does some pretty impressive stuff that is necessary in an enterprise environment. Unfortunately, there virtual infrastructure software suite requires Windows servers to support core functionality.

I've seen several references to running VMWare under CentOS, but does anybody know how well Parallels runs under CentOS?
Parallels is Mac only.
There is a version of Parallels for Linux too.
I think the VMware workstation is more mature, but costs more $$$
On a related note, now that Zen is as mature as it is, are commercial VMs really much better than Zen?
Do you mean Xen? Xen isn't as a mature as VMWare is on HVM (unmodified guests).
I use VMWare Server on my workstation and Xen on my servers (all para-virtualized).
Xen is really for those who are willing to get their hands dirty. VMware server is free and runs well.
