All, apologies, can't share the article till next month I believe. However, @Ashish, agreed Xen is much more forgiving when it comes to supported hardware, but you really cant compare Xen's performance on a server class system to its results on a desktop class machine. Also, last I checked, which was some time in Oct 2010, there were also restrictions on adding machines with heterogeneous CPUs to a server cluster (If this has changed, I would love to be updated). Finally, unless you're running a Xen modified kernel on your guest OS, you really dont get much mileage from it. Essentially I left Xen out on the same token that I left ESX out, i.e. designed for a different class of systems.
