True.

I've deployed Virtuozzo for a large web hosting company and found it
superior to vmware in about every aspect that mattered in a web hosting
environment.

OpenVZ on the other hand is about at the same level as xen, kvm and
similiar opensource solutions. Well, not so much a solution, but a building
block to help you build your own solution to your particular problem.
