Speaking of which - assuming the use of VMware is to host Windows under Linux - isn't it a bit too early to consider Xen as a replacement? I mean - up to version 3.0 of Xen and the CPU generation which will support virtualization in hardware (not released yet, as far as I'm aware) it doesn't sound like a practical laternative to VMware, is it? See http://www.linux-mag.com/content/view/2264/ for a current "state of the Xen nation". BTW - has anyone any idea how much would the new virtualization-supporting CPU's cost? Would they be in the "high-end server range" or can we expect them to be priced for "middle-range desktops" as well?
