Xen allows one to create fully virtualized virtual machines via hardware
virtualization and para-virtualized "Xen" machines.

In this regard it is probably more functional then Zones and if the
PV machines are properly designed it should be more reliable.

I think Sun released a Xen PV enabled version of the Solaris kernel
recently, so you could run Zones in a Solaris PV under Xen, if you
were so inclined...
