I'm not very fond about xen virtualization because, if the hypervisor has bugs it might bring the entire stack down( host OS along with the guest) where as if virtualization was being done through something like virtualbox and if their were any any bugs. most likely it would only affect the guest OS and not the host OS. but i think virtualization itself is a can of problems because, the unit will be running mutiple kernels at the same time and i think that increases the risk of having many, many bugs where security might become an issue.
